pickI found this book to be informative and interesting. Kaldellis examines the dynamics of political power in the Byzantine Empire through this book, as well as the idea of "popular consent" and how it affected the use of political power. While a little dry in parts, the book is very informative in its subject matter.

I am reminded every few years of this philosophical exercise, and it is never not relevant...

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 174

pickIt‘s comic time!!!
I don't know if you can tell that I'm a huge Star Wars fan from this photo 🤔
Just finished “Age of Republic”, a comic with some stories that dig deep into the souls of the protagonists of the Star wars prequel trilogy.
I personally loved the Qui Gon‘s and Maul‘s ones!!!

The year is 2650. Seventy-five years ago, an alien fleet attacked Earth. Without warning. Without mercy. We were not prepared. Hundreds of millions perished. Dozens of cities burned. We nearly lost everything. Then the aliens abruptly left. We rebuilt. We armed ourselves. We swore: never again. But the aliens never came back. Until now...
Overslept but still made it to my new polling station to cast my ballot as a #NewYorker for the first time since moving here almost 3 years ago. #democracy #republic #vote #GoVote #MidtermElections2018 #ElectionDay2018 #TuesdayMotivation #BeAVoter #IVoted
