I tried reading manufacting consent and holy fuck I couldn't even go a few pages without having to look something up to even get close to understanding it. That said, I do get the overarching principle of it so I guess something sunk in. Currently, I'm flying through Understanding The World or something, a collection of speech from Chomsky. It's totally understandable, and even enjoyable to read. Another one that I havent got yet, but seem to like the look of is Capitalist Realism, it's only 90 pages.

Any suggestions?

    Yeah, I look stuff up usually, and I go down random Wikipedia foxholes all the time because there's something I don't understand in one Wikipedia article. It just gets frustrating when I have to look stuff up multiple times on a single page, for 10 consecutive pages.
