Have you managed to get a hold of Little's New Directions in the Philosophy of Social Science? Haven't read it; from what I gather it's not so much an updated Varieties as an answer to the question of: provided we accept a handful of epistemic starting points (actor-centricity, macro-meso-micro levels to the social, etc.), what's available to us? The attention paid to assemblage theory and crit realism reflects what he's been concerned with on his blog. The Foreword.
Unrelatedly, I went through Abbott's Processual Sociology over the summer and am keen to get a committed pragmatist's thoughts on it. Or rather, your thoughts on Abbott's work more broadly, as I've never been able to take the pulse of someone who's philosophically literate on the matter. I enjoy Abbott. I'm not well read enough to have an opinion on him beyond that. I think his ontological stuff is entertaining if nothing else, and I fear that that's what most people take away from him.
Also, please don't leave us again :(. Diss be damned.
