I finally had the time to finish Destiny Disrupted last week. The author basically goes through the entire world history from a Muslim/Middle-East perspective. It's in-depth and insightful yet still straight talk. Only minor downside is that there are a lot of unfamiliar names and pronunciations that'll pass by, but the author takes it into account. After DD I listened to the first four hours of Robert Putnam's Our Kids and the first chapter of Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publicly Shamed. You know those NYT specials where they describe the lives of a few people and link it to larger social issues and facts? Putnam is basically that, with inequality as a subject. Pikketty-light. I also picked up Oliver Sacks' The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, which I have been meaning to read for a while now.
