SPS paper guides

For politics I read Bernard Crick`s In Defence of Politics and found it really provoking. I nevertheless get the feeling that he skates over some important issues. I liked the concept though. John Dunn`s "Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future" didn`t really get my attention. It`s really full of historcal data. His "Democracy: the unfinished journey" is far more interesting. I have just finished one book introducing social psychology which I found really cool and I also read one about sociology. I revised some of Machiavelli, Locke and Hobbes and I am reading Marx now(the Capital)
Sounds much but I am totally into the subjects so I read pretty fast.

No. I`m interested in philosophy so I knew beforehand that he was influential political thinker. The same applies to Locke and Marx of course.
I don`t really stick to the reading list. I mean I checked out some of the books on it but I`ve been reading stuff I like mostly.

If it helps, I'm going to study SPS in October and had to e-mail my Director of Studies who replied that he didn't expect students to have done much prep by the time they got to Cambridge.

I've tried to re-engage brain by stepping up my level of current affairs reading and maybe browsing the odd book here or there (although how you guys stuck with The Prince is beyond me), but I think we'll all be fine and shouldn't psych ourselves out before the course has even begun!
