Right now I'm reading:
Bullshit Jobs (2018) by David Graeber - I loved Debt but had low expectations for this one and was reluctant to read it (I expected it would just be an extremely padded out version of the essay, which I liked). I'm enjoying it a lot more than I expected, and I'm reminded how skillful 
was at gently taking a reader along and path that is unambiguously radical, yet each individual step on the path seems casual and reasonable.
Western Marxism (2017) by Domenico Losurdo - it's good. It's Losurdo, if you've read him before this is about the same - very rigorous and orderly arguments that lead to some very powerful insights. I'm only 100 pages in so far but liking it and feel that this new English text might become a vital text once it gets read more widely
Exhalation (2019) by Ted Chiang. Science fiction short stories by one of the best to do it rn. I'm about halfway through, so far I enjoyed his first collection more (Story of Your Life and Others). I liked the first story quite a lot (The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate) but most of the rest of what I've read so has been dominated by one 100 page novella that felt kind of weak for the amount of real estate it takes up. I've heard a few of the later stories are real bangers though so maybe it will balance out.
As for what I'm excited to read next, I'm kind of spinning my wheels a bit. Might do Washington Bullets by Vijay Prishad, or maybe some Strugatsky Brothers. Open to suggestions!
Just finished The Return of Inequality: Social Change and the Weight of the Past by Mike Savage.
Clearly we have a new Giddens brewing here. The last chapter was called "What is to be done?" in which he says Lenins call to action lacked an understanding of temporality.
Read it for an exam, interesting look into the thinking of the Western sort of leftist thinkers who are anxious about the breaking of nation-states but refuse to fully discuss imperialism.
Currently reading Introduction to Addictive Behaviors by Thombs, Dennis L. & Osborn, Cynthia J.
This is also for my studies. Interesting info on the history of substance use and the framings around it. Not too far into it yet.
What I am looking forward to reading is Capital. Tried to do the reading group here but too little time from all my studies. Then found a sosiology course where you can choose it as material and get credits for it so now I get to read it and advance getting this degree done all at once.
Me neither.
