Short but by no means sweet

The Reading List for 09 Sep 22

The last part of my summer has been given over to reading things I wouldn’t normally dive into. Like Hunter S. Thompson’s columns and books, most of which I hadn’t read. Sure, I had read about Las Vegas and the 1972 election but there were tons of other columns and books and letters that simply didn’t catch my eye.

Otherwise, I have kept my usual reading to a minimum the past couple of weeks. Still, the four suggestions below are meaty. Wendy Mesley’s is an especially worthwhile take on the Lisa LaFlamme issue.

• Wendy Mesley has some thoughts on Lisa LaFlamme.

• Nathaniel Rachman on Gorbachev’s legacy

• Sam Freedman on the new British cabinet

• Paul Wells on what the Liberals will do now that summer’s over and school is back.
