Hey, have you found Cities Under Siege yet? If not, I’ve a copy. HMU.
Any chance they have Partisan Ruptures, Self management, Market Reform and the Spectre of Socialist Yugoslavia?
Lovecraft Country cuz I found out it was a book too. Only just started but it's good so far.
how is the book, the series has been a bit uneven (I still like it tho).
Definitely better than the show but I really liked the latest episode.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, hoping to also get Equal Rites and Rocannon's World in to start reading this week.
Union organizer Jane McAlevey's Raising Expectations, and a book on permaculture. RIP David Graeber, one of the most brilliant thinkers in my lifetime.
Started Reactionary Mind. Not far in but I like the writing style so far.
Reading One Vast Winter Count by Colin Calloway because I realized I don't know nearly enough Native American history. Got some pretty great anecdotes about the Iroquois playing the French and the English off one another, tribes on the Mississippi saying the French smell and are basically idiots, the massive Pueblo revolution against Spanish rule that worked for like twenty years, stuff like that. Really comprehensive of the American West pre-1800 that I highly recommend.
Been reading Pedagogy of the Oppressed for the book club, Bullshit Jobs in memory to David Graeber, and am planning to start Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
The Cold War and American Science: The Military-Industrial-Academic Complex at MIT and Stanford
It's for a class I'm sitting in on, and holy shit was it hard to find online.
