Welcome to Litsy!

I missed Day 11 of #augustphotochallenge.. I was too tired when I got back home to look through my books, so I just passed out.. I am making up for it today.. I don't usually read books on politics, so have only two which may come close.. I got to know more about Pakistan history, Taliban and the struggle under their rule from I am Malala.. It was a great read.. I am yet to read Persepolis though..#booksandpolitics..

I'm afraid this is the only political book I have... Shows where my heart is huh? #booksandpolitics #augustofpages

Cats, apparently.

Saw that @TheSpinecrackersBookClub is doing #booksandpolitics today and have been inspired to start this recent acquisition which would let me cross off book #2 from my official August TBR. (Also the political science major in me is loving all the political books today) Litsy is the best in so many ways.

#booksandpolitics #politicsandbooks - I'm getting ready to start #3 in this trilogy about John Lewis's work in the Civil Rights Movement. We are lucky to have such heroes among us. #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge

I tried to read this both visually and in audio form. It's just too dry and hard to follow for me. It didn't help that the narrator would pause in. Odd places. #booksandpolitics #augustphotochallenge @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

I was considering 'historical politics' (SPQR has lots) or novels based around politics (Pleasantville) but I came back to this, which is the only 'political political' book I own. Caroline Lucas is, I think, still the UK's only Green MP. She looks at Westminster as someone who can see the absurdities of the current system and how crucially things need to change. A really interesting not-too-heavy read. #augustphotochallenge #booksandpolitics

"But I have to warn you that this is the word—‘politics‘—that nerds use whenever they feel impatient about the human realities of an organization.” I find that sci-fi offers some of the best analysis of politics ? and Seveneves is one of my recent faves. #augustofpages #booksandpolitics @TheSpinecrackersBookClub
