I'm ripping through the dune audiobooks and they're pretty great. Reading the thursday murder club, its some good fun!
Thursday Murder Club was just such a genuinely fun read. There was something so light hearted about it I loved
Finished up Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs - sometimes leans towards enthusiasm over precision, but overall a very good read!
Trust by Hernan Diaz. I got it because I heard it has an interesting structure and it won the Pulitzer, and I'm really loving it so far. I just finished (after a little reading slump) Cyberlibertarianism: The Right-Wing Politics of Digital Technology by David Golumbia.
Trust seems interesting. Will take a look.
Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism by V.I. Lenin, and
An Introduction To Marxist Economic Theory by Ernest Mandel.
Although I've read lots of excerpts and essays in ML literature, it happens that I never touched some of the most basic and influential works, especially in economics and political economy. I find Ernest Mandel’s introduction to be quite accessible and comprehensible. My goal is to take on Das Kapital eventually.
Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. My understanding is that it is a woefully misunderstood book, and that people keep getting angry with the content without understanding it (or worse, without reading it).
So far, I actually really like it just a handful of chapters in. I think they make incredibly salient points and have very convincing rationales.
My sister is currently reading this and is going to lend it to me after shes done. I'm looking forward to sitting down and reading it because all I hear is that the online discourse completely misrepresents the book to the point where you know they haven't read it.
I assume we should only list good books?
Nah, posting that you didn't like something is helpful, too, imo.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, all are welcome here.
Raft by Stephen Baxter and War Bodies by Neal Asher. Both are pretty fun so far
About half way through book 90 of The Deathlands books! :D
10 books to go! (then you will have only 80 or so left!)
