I'll keep it in mind, but I really shouldn't be reading anything other than actuarial study guides for the next two months.

Its an ethics book, and deals with how the enlightened world came to allow Nazi Germany to be, and even makes the claim that fascism was the logical dark end of western enlightenment. Its kind of a bitch how its worded (translated out of German) but some of the stuff it deals with, specifically concerning mass deception is really interesting, and surprisingly relevant. You seem busy with The Second World War, but if you feel like some difficult but extremely interesting reading, I very much recommend. yo dude, Im reading The Dialect of Enlightenment by Adorno and Horkheimer.
