Reading

Holy crap.

I've taken out (or will have taken out) a stack of books from the library on social citizenship theory over the past few weeks. 19 to be exact. Plus there's one book available via the eReader. I may just have to read a book or two a week (depending on usefulness as I go along), if I'm to write anything before Christmas. Curious as to the list? I thought I'd post it here to keep track. Here goes:

*Ciitzenship and Social Class by T. H. Marshall
*Citizenship: a very short introduction by Richard Bellamy
*Citizenship today : the contemporary relevance of T.H. Marshall by Anthony Martin
*The three worlds of welfare capitalism by Goesta Esping-Anderson
*Which Equalities Matter? by Anne Phillips
*The disorder of women: democracy, feminism and political theory by Carole Pateman
*Multicultural Citizenship: a liberal theory of minority rights by Will Kymlicka
*Recent theories of citizenship in its relation to government by Carl Brinkmann
*Women, citizenship and difference by Pnina Werbner
*On the margins of citizenship: obligation, authority, and membership by Allison Carey
*A philosophical theory of citizenship: obligation, authority, and membership by Steven J Wulf
*Genealogies of citizenship: markets, statelessness, and the right to have rights by Margaret Somers
*Homelessness, citizenship, and identity by Kathleen Arnold
*A theory of citizenship by Herman Gunsteren
*The straight state: sexuality and citizenship in 20th Century America by margot Canaday
*The Sage handbook of sociology by Craig Calhoun
*Theorising heterosexuality: telling it straight by Diane Richardson
*The queen of America goes to Washington city: essays on sex and citizenship by Lauren Berlant
*The Civic Minimum: On the Rights and Obligations of Economic Citizenship by Stuart White

This doesn't include a half a dozen or so journal articles also on the subject of social citizenship, and one book my ex SF lent to me (she said I could borrow her books as long as needed). With such a mountain to climb, is it any wonder I find myself drawn to writing fanfic, looking at pretty pictures of Noel Fielding on Tumblr, writing about cooking and talking about nonsense on my LJ these days?
