Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism by Peter Marshall

Currently reading “The Story of Christianity” by David Bentley Hart. In my opinion it is the best one volume history of the Church. Not explicitly Catholic, but not unfair. A beautiful coffee table book full of exquisite images.

Star Wars: The Dark Nest Trilogy II: The Unseen Queen

If you don’t like bugs, then this trilogy isn’t for you. 😉 The Jedi get involved in what appears to be a border skirmish between the Killiks (basically large bugs) and the Chiss (Grand Admiral Thrawn’s species). Soon, it threatens to erupt into galactic war as the Jedi realize the Killiks are being controlled by a Dark Jedi.

In this trilogy, Jacen Solo exhibits tendencies that will eventually lead him down the path his grandfather took: becoming a Sith. But that’s not until the next storyline, Legacy of the Force.
 
Given as I live in Europe and there is a huge immigration and I would say overall ideological crisis too, I am currently reading
