Currently reading through "Imagined Communities" which explores the origin of the concept of a nation and the corresponding nationalism associated. Two chapters in so far and it's pretty interesting. Beyond that I have "Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus" planned which, as goodreads puts it, "Acclaimed historian Rick Perlstein chronicles the rise of the conservative movement in the liberal 1960s." This is part of a three-part series covering Goldwater, Nixon, and Reagan, but I don't think I'm going to read them serially. Beyond that, I have several Murakami books queued up, but in German to hopefully help in the whole language acquisition thing. Beyond that, I have roughly 100 books on backlog, but it's been that way for the past few years despite going through a book a week.
