Just finished The War for Children's Minds by Stephen Law, an interesting toh' inadequate defence of Kantian liberalism against religious fundamentalism and authoritarianism.

   In the midst of Closely Observed Train by Hrabal, a slender novella. And dipping into lots of books, like History's Worst Decisions. An Encyclopedia Idiotica by Stephen Weir.

   Recently read Francis Wheen's How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered the World, a thorough recommendation.
