Well, it finally arrived.
I ordered it from Mystery to Me (thanks!) back in August and here we are nearly 3 months later. I wonder what makes it so hard to get a hold of. After 1 month of waiting I found myself in the UK so I sought it out. However, neither the Waterstones on High Street in Birmingham nor the bookstore at the Birmingham airport had it.
At least I have it now. But it'll have to wait to be read. Right now I am plowing through Locke's Second Treatise of Government and this follows on the heels of selections from Leviathan as I am reading and listening along to a recording of a semester of ILS 206 (Western Culture: Political, Economic, and Social Thought II) as taught by one of my old profs, Charles Anderson, back in, oh, the late 1980s.
After reading bits of Hobbes I've decided I need to start using the word "peradventure" more often. Locke is interesting. A couple parts read just like the Declaration of Independence. Or vice versa. And when he goes on about men owning the fruits of their labors I can understand how Marx was influenced by the man.
I expect to get caught up with the Rivers of London series just in time to find out that Aaronovitch has released a new novella.
