I'm back in good health and should start posting serious theory discussions instead of talking about football all the time.
Post ideas here. Upbearing comments will be interprebeared as an expression of interest.
It would be good etiquette to mention the length of the book, as it's relevant to choosing.
I was going to do an Unmasking Autism (Dr. Devon Price) book club in the neurodivergent comm if anyone is interested
EDIT: Thinking of getting it going early next month. I'll need to do some prep work, re-read the book (currently finishing his prior book Laziness Does Not Exist and finding unexpected insights there too) and think up some discussion questions for each chapter. This one hit me hard and I've been trying to present it to other people in a way that does it justice. I feel like this will be a good avenue to pursue that.
How do I get in on this.
Library Genesis 😎🧩📖
This would be amazing.
I am currently trying to get my hands on the new Empire of Normality-book myself, read it was about capitalism and neurodivergence especially. Currently writing my bachelors about neurodiversity in the context of welfare states (control, normativity etc.) and the commodification part of it all is a worrying question that I am working on forming an understanding in.

Ping me or pm me if you are trying to track down a digital copy of a book and you can't find it on the major sites.
Thank you so much, the local "amazon" we have was asking an arm and a leg for this one.
Empire of Normality
That's what I intend to read as well!
YES! Awesome!
You're already reading a book that I found in an obscure corner of Amazon.com, so to speak.
We should talk about it sometime when we're both done with it.
Oh absolutely, just started on it courtesy of the pdf posted below.
noice
Please tag me when this happens?
please tag me for this
will do
Funny! I just read Unmasking Autism and would recommend it, though it may not be for everyone (I say this as an Autistic person myself).
Not everyone is Autistic or even neurodivergent so it may not be applicable or useful for everyone. Enlightening but not "up there" in terms of a priority, perhaps?
That's why I would do it specifically in the Neurodivergence comm. It's applicable to everyone who's got strong neurodivergent traits or knows someone who does, but it's not as broadly applicable as, say, a book about men in general.
Hmmm, interesting idea, I guess.
Interested
I am also interested in this, please ping me when it happens.
got it
Tag me in this too but no promises yet as I don't know what my next few months look like yet.
I mean it's just reading a chapter every week or two and posting your hot takes on it, but yeah I'll keep you in mind
I can probs do 2 chapters a week lol. I got it downloaded. I'm taking a break from theory and reading horror fic now until I figure out what I want to dive into next. This seems like an interesting side street. I've been wanting to add something to my list about autism since I got diagnosed anyway.
