    Getting an EReader has increased the rate at which I read drastically. Reading becomes less of a task and more of a convenient way to spend time.

    Reading Marx and Engels is also a great primer for anyone getting into Leftist theory.

      I've uploaded a few read by tts at https://pca.st/podcast/3af50c70-30cd-013c-f68a-0acc26574db2

      Not too proud of it, but might still be useful.

      There's also audioteca critica, with actual people reading the books, https://pca.st/podcast/5a409f90-829a-013a-d7e9-0acc26574db2, in Brazilian Portuguese.

    I've just remembered that like 10 years ago my go-to answer for people bothering me at work with my headphones on just to ask me what Im listening to (wtf??), was just that - "To the Communist Manifesto ofc!"

    Sometimes I would spice it up with like a Communist Manifesto - Mein Campf remix or last Sundays black mass I missed, praised be Lucy, the bringer of light.

    I've def trained people not to ask me stupid or personal questions unless they actually mean it.
    I don't understand nor know how to do small talk, ok?

    Audiobooks take away the imaginative ideas of the readers experience of the tales. I like to imagine for myself the feelings of the characters in their given situations.
