Reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). About halfway through the book, things are getting interesting, mainly because we are learning more of the world and how it works, still no solution to actual problem though, but I doubt we will get it before the end.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I just finished reading a book called 'La crisis latente del Darwinismo' by Maurício Abdalla (which would be something like 'The Latent Crisis of Darwinism' in English). I loved this book so much. The author, who is a philosopher, explains the incompatibilities between the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin (and Neo-Darwinism) and recent scientific discoveries. He discusses alternative theories such as those suggested by Lynn Margulis or Máximo Sandín, which move away from competition as a key factor in evolution. Abdalla mentions how Darwinism was a theory molded by the ideology of its time: liberalism.
