I started reading The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard a few days ago. It's essentially a political history of the Caribbean pirates during the golden age of piracy c. 1690-1720. It's not really an era or a subject I've ever had a lot of interest in but his take and explanation of the motivations for both the pirates and the people hunting them (and them usually not being just "let's go hunt for some treasure/stop our treasure from being taken") are so fascinating that I'm being really drawn in.

Mokinokaro posted:Picked up Snow Crash, Mona Lisa Overdrive and Blood Meridian. Really like McCarthy and have never read SC yet. Not sure which to start with. From what I recall (although I haven't read either one in years so maybe I'm forgetting something) I think there's little to no connection between the two, other than both being in the Sprawl setting, so I'd say you should be fine.
