I'm reading The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce (Delphi edition) on my tablet.

Just finished Legendborn as well.

The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin is also what I'm reading (second book in the trilogy of The Three-Body Problem)

In terms of non-fiction:

Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism (2nd Edition) by Otto Wille Kuusinen (highly recommended!)

Class, Race and Black Liberation by Henry Winston (also highly recommmend! ...Though not before reading the prequel to the book Strategy for a Black Agenda)

Discussion questions:

What new books are you reading?

Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?

Question of the week:

What books are you eager to read that you haven't read yet?

Enjoy!

Thoughts?

I'm doing a re-read of A Song of Ice and Fire.

I'm about a quarter of the way through The Dispossessed, and I'm pretty disappointed so far. It seems like a flat character expounding on the virtues of Anarcho-syndicalism, but I just have a hard time believing it.

It honestly reminds me of Atlas Shrugged. It's this ideal world where an idealist system works, and it's hard to make it believable.

Maybe I'm just a hater. I guess I shouldn't have an opinion until I finish it.

Have only skimmed it so far, but it seems like a good introductory summary. Just enter some fake information and a temporary email address (unless you want to donate). License is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Brewster Kahle: “Libraries are more than the customer service departments for corporate database products. For democracy to thrive at global scale, libraries must be able to sustain their historic role in society—owning, preserving, and lending books.

Buy gold.

...And eat your sterile cereal before getting that job at Denny's.

Question of the week:

Be honest: do you get your books from Amazon or directly from the publishers? If you do a bit of both, how often for each?

Enjoy!

(I do this so people here can talk about things other than politics so enjoy yourselves.)

I want to get immersed in Chinese culture, but apparently it's hard to choose a book while being certain that it won't contain a pro-Western moralizing story. I'd like to build a good list with these criteria in mind. Can you help me out, comrades?

Your thoughts, everyone?

Which ones do you think could be useful?

Thanks in advance!

(And yes, I'm well aware that I posted this on Lemmygrad of all places, but I want things that can help me with my financials and with whatever business career I might pursue; I don't mean that I stan capitalism or whatever, but I've always wanted to use small business know-how to help the movement and get myself afloat.)
