Used to ramble through the park

Shadow boxing in the dark

Then you came and caused a spark

That’s a four-alarm blogwatch now…

Body and Soul: Good, long post (with very well-chosen pictures) on women’s subordination, agency, and individuality, focusing on what the new book The Bookseller of Kabul notices and fails to notice.

Jane Galt: Recommend economics books for beginners! I did find Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson quite readable and very intro-level, and PJ O’Rourke’s stuff is fun too. Her commenters add suggestions from varied political/econ perspectives.

The Old Oligarch: More on male headship–an exchange between him and Mommentary.
