The ends of life
What I’ve been Reading (2009-03-29)

5. Keith Thomas, The Ends of Life: Roads to Fulfillment in Early Modern England .  His Religion and the Decline of Magic is one of my favorite history books ever (he tells us that, in equilibrium, a certain number of people should pretend to be witches, to get what they want).  The new one is impeccably researched and written, but I don't see so much original material there.  I can honestly call it a good book but for me it was a disappointment.
