   What are you reading right now?
   
   If you are consuming media that relays information via written word, digital or physical, Discuss it here. Audiobooks too, as they have papercut-inflicting counterparts as well.
   
   What do you like about what you are reading? What do you dislike about it? Has it changed your views on a certain subject, or reinforced your current beliefs? Have any quotes from it stuck with you?
   
   Right now, I am reading, "The Political Tradition Of The West", by Frederick Mundell Watkins. There is very little known about this author and some of his books are no longer purchasable. The only thing on Libgen by him is linked below.
   
   The book begins as a sort of dive into the history of Western politics. He attempts to explain how the history of western politics led to Modern Liberalism (The book was written during the 40's, published in 48) of which the author says ""Modern liberalism is the secular form of western civilization"
   
   The book ends with the author's predictions for the future of western society, as well as criticisms of nationalism and authoritarianism for some reason.

   Well, we are living in his future right now, but I haven't gotten to that part of the book yet. I might just skip some chapters that are just fluff and read the juicy ones.

   People who are writing books almost always seem to think they have a moral obligation to waste wood pulp on filler material.

   In this case it is necessary to fulfill a condition of his main premise. But generally yeah, it seems that way. That's why I liked The Prince, it was short and sweet.
