Mainly got it to read textbooks on, because fuck buying them or readings hundreds of pages on a laptop screen, but it's actually really cool and it's made me want to start reading more for personal enjoyment.

What books should I get for it? I'm open to all suggestions. Currently I've only got Moby Dick, in case I run into :amber-snacking: and want to impress her

    I really enjoyed Debt: The First 5000 Years by David Graeber. The first chapter is the best part: it dismantles the basis of economics by debunking the myth of barter society ever existing. Most of the book covers credit relations throughout history. It covers similar ground to Engels' The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, if you've ever read that.

      If you're looking for fiction, anything by Herman Hesse is great. Steppenwolf and Narcisuss and Goldmund are my favorites. He deals with secular spirituality very well.
