Book round-up: July 2019

I was at sea for most of July and after last October, I went on a book shopping spree pre-voyage to make sure I wasn’t hate-reading the contents of the ship’s library again in search of fresh content. I succeeded, but at the cost of six hundred pages of Capital in the Twenty-First Century, which is at least good for bragging rights for the next decade or so. (Watch the documentary or read a precis; it’s nice to know Picketty has done his work, but not necessary to comprehending the key lessons, i.e., tax the rich.) If you’re looking for recs/reviews of newish fiction, there’s a lot here, so dig in.
