The Diné (Navajo) Nation has the largest contemporary contiguous land base among Native nations: nearly sixteen million acres, or nearly twenty-five thousand square miles, the size of West Virginia. Each of twelve other reservations is larger than Rhode Island, which comprises nearly eight hundred thousand acres, or twelve hundred square miles, and each of nine other reservations is larger than Delaware, which covers nearly a million and a half acres, ore two thousand square miles. Other reservations have land bases of fewer than thirty-two thousand acres, or fifty square miles. A number of independent nation-states with seats in the United Nations have less territory and smaller populations than some Indigenous nations of North America.

Highly entertaining!

These days, very few books keep me up until 2 at night. This one did it for me.
In a fantasy city inspired by Venice in the Renaissance, Locke Lamora is a thief. Not any common thief though, he's been brought up to be the BEST thief, along with his crew. He made me think of Arsène Lupin or Fantômas (minus the sadistic approach—which is taken by Lamora's enemies).
The action is fast-paced, the world is well made, but I regret that almost all major characters are men.

Eye Opening
5 étoiles
As someone who studiously avoided economics classes in college, I feel ill-equipped to consider, let alone judge, economic policies. I had the impression that economic growth was bad for our ecological stability l, but couldn't explain why. I loved Doughnut Economics because it covered economic history and concepts approachably, and gave alternative models for thinking about economics. From now on, I won't care about narratives of economic growth - I'll want to hear about how quality of life is improving and our biosphere is thriving.
