To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.
After 2 months of being unable to start any single book, I started Nick Lane's "The Vital Question" this week.

Slowly reading the Red and the Black. I think the most interesting part of the story so far is the conflict between the rising bourgeouis vs aristocrats
The main character was born a poorcel and absolutely despises the nobles but the noveau rich disgust him with their lack of manners and flaunting of wealth.
There's also a passage where he meets a (noble) young bishop and he's mesmerized by how polite and gracious he is.
