Reading List
What am I reading lately?
The first half or so of James C. Scott's "Seeing Like a State."
E. E. Schatschneider's "The Semisoverign People." (Done! Really interesting political theory!)
Susan S. Fainstein's "The Just City."
Henri Lefebvre's "The Urban Revolution." (Translation by Robert Bononno.)
Christian Axsiom's "Transportation Transformations and the 1936 Syracuse Jubilee." (1999 SU masters' thesis.)
William Roseboom and Henry Schramm's "They Built a City: Stories and Legends of Syracuse and Onondaga County." (Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
restoman for the loan!)
And some journal articles.
I'm only a couple chapters into some. But when I lay it all out like that, it does feel like I'm getting something done. Which helps me relax a bit! I figure I need to approach this like a job. I should spent at least eight hours a day reading, researching and, once class starts, doing work. (So far, I have not done this. But I should start.) My plan is that If I get sleepy, or distractable, I read something else, or I get up and ride somewhere, or do whatever; then I come back to it.
I'm going to bike over to the police station and register one of my bikes, then drop by the campus to do some more reading if I have time. Then there's a departmental party at a grad student's house over in Westcott!
