"In Praise of Floods" by James C. Scott. This might not be another SLAS or Against The Grain but it's definitely a James C. Scott, giving voice to the complex vernacular urbanism of an ecosystem. A voice we'll miss for a long time, to read with pleasure.

"Broken Angels" by Richard Morgan Less fun than the first one I thought, but still fun in its violent, cybernoirish kind of way.

I mean, it's not rare that my evening routine would be: 1) challenging non-fiction, 2) lighter non-fiction, 3) fiction. So depending on the kind of fiction I can really arrange to get to that point with very limited brain power left :)

Thank you! If they're good for even just one person out there, then I'm happy :)
