Two atypical reads this time, plus a science fiction novel:

24. Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. I've been slowly working my way through this one on audiobook off and on for a couple of years. It's a quite dry survey of economics, written at a layman's level and told from a distinctly conservative slant. I finally started making headway in it

I'd like to read Arrian.

The edition I read was the Penguin, translated by Selincourt, which I think was done in the 1950s. If you're OK with a translation by some Victorian gentleman, you can probably find a free or nearly-free one online. It's sometimes called the Anabasis, not to be confused with the Anabasis by Xenophon, which I read a few years back and is also worth reading.

Thanks! I've put it on my wish list.
