PoliSci Nerd Freakout
An International Relations student's scrapbook. Over the course of reading and writing and researching, and just plain living I discover all kinds of interesting facts and figures and quotations that I'll never end up using in a report or a presentation. This is my place to share them. I hope you like it. I'll also probably share random shit I find interesting like kittens or game of thrones, potential followers have been warned.

They would expect him to be afraid; for his Service pursued traitors as the eye of God followed Cain across the desert.John le Carré - The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

I started reading this recently, and I love the cover of it. It’s probably my favorite cover of any book I own. Does anyone else think about book covers? Any good ones?
Gorgeous cover art. Anyone seen a desktop wallpaper sized image using this art?
