    I'm a little over half way through The Passion According To G.H. by Clarice Lispector. All I can say is that its a 200 page book of a lady staring at a dead cockroach. Pretty cool to be honest.

        I'm on chapter 1 as he breaks down the way he will be interpreting Marx's Capital but already got a bunch of reading recs and some contextual information about the discussion around socialism at the time. I like seeing that moral throughline that while not often emphasized, still lives within Socialism.

    I'm about 70 pages into this reaganland doorstop. Having grown up with parents who worshiped reagan, dragged me to pro life rallies, etc- reading it is almost therapeutic lol

      Just finshed WL&C the other week, read it pretty slowly to process everything but was super satisfying getting through it

    Because it's October, which for us Americans is the spookiest month of the year, I've decided to start Caliban and the Witch . Reflecting on it, I think this is my first feminist piece of theory I've read. Partway through the first chapter, it promises to be really interesting.

    Ice - Anna Kavan. Finally watched the new charlie kaufman, and there's a heavy reference to this book, and I dug the movie so I picked it up. Good vibe so far.

    Goedel Escher Bach - Doug Hofstadter. Been meaning to finish this for years; hopefully I will soon.

      curious how this reads. I really liked it when I read it in high school but I kind of don't trust my tastes from back then.

        not as thought provoking as when you're first introduced to/exploring the discussed ideas. but it's an easy/fun/digestible foray into those ideas, and it's just like a pretty cool opus -- like, you can see the craft and love and thoughtfulness that went into it.
