Celebrating 5 years of marriage today so I won't be on much, can I get some Ws in chat :D. The announcement for the book winner should go out tomorrow.
What are you reading? what's good, what sucked?
Everyone have a great weekend!
Has anyone had that occurrence where you recommend a book to someone and they take your suggestion and they love it. I had that with my brother-in-law and it felt really nice _. So Imma take that W today.
W :duck-dance: enjoy your 5 years dude!
I'm almost finished Engles' Socialism Utopian and Scientific, 10 more pages to go. I'd consider it an essential read if you're getting into the fundamentals of socialism. It's still a dense read, as most theory is, but it's not an insurmountable read to the people newer to reading theory like myself. Wish I could find something that expanded more on how to analyze things through dialectics but for now I'll continue going through my theory backlog.
Aside from theory, I've downloaded Roadside Picnic because I've got the itch for a good sci-fi thriller. I've never played the Stalker games but I've enjoyed what I've heard about the settings, so I'm sure the book that they are based off of will be up my alley
I'm still working out dialectics myself, but I think reading Engels' own profound historical materialism in The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State would probably help with your own analysis.
Thanks for the recommendation, funny enough I got a copy of Origin of the Family last week. I'll bump it up the reading list then, looking forward to it
