Just started...



Utopia, by Sir Thomas More. Not reading it in the original Latin, obviously. I'm not that smart. I'm not too far in, but I'm already enjoying the outdated yet fascinating criticism of the royalty, cleverly covered by ironic "praise." It's pretty obvious More was doing something incredibly ballsy, and though his opinions are rarely applicable in the modern world, I still appreciate them.



God In A Cup, by Michaele Weissman. I'm not 100% sure what this is supposed to be, but it appears to be a history of the economics/trade/making/growing/etc of coffee. Also, opinions, interviews, stories, and various other whatevers. It's too formal to be a coffee table book (har har), but too informal to really be scholary. Nonetheless, I'm a few chapters in, and it's already quite enjoyable. I bought and read the start of it today, drinking coffee, appropriately.
