Yep. That oh-so-familliar word: procrastination. Here is what I need to “read” by the end of the holidays:

• The Coming of the French Revolution — Georges Lefebvre
• The Crowd in the French Revolution — George Rude
• Rousseau and the French Revolution — Joan McDonald
• The French Revolution: From it’s Origins to 1793 — Georges Lefebvre
• Citizens — Simon Schama
• Reactions to the French Revolution — Richard Cobb
• The French Revolution — Peter McPhee
• Russia Under the Old Regime — Richard Pipes
• The Russian Revolution — Leon Trotsky

At the very least, I suppose I should skim. I can do that. And collect a few pithy quotes. Hmmmm.

Oh, and Trosky has a really odd writing style. There’s heaps of interjections like “Grave Mistake!”, etc, etc. It’s almost hilarious.
