What Are You Reading Now?

[Roshan]

I'm finally reading the now classic book about how the left lost the white working class by foolishly falling prey to wedge issues/identity politics. (I was sent the UK/Australia edition that's called "What's The Matter With America?" though, and at first thought it was the wrong book. )

I was alternating sleeping and reading this on the plane yesterday, and I’m almost finished with it,

And reading this along with his Visions of Excess and starting Rorty’s Philosophy as Poetry.

Tbh, i haven't been reading much lately.

But this is the book i read in buses and trains right now



It's an anthropology book about the Wild Hunt and other european myths about hunting.
i read it years ago, but now i'm rereading it with typology (especially quadras and quadra evolution) in mind.

I will probably talk about it more at some point because it has a lot of resonances with what we have been working on here.

The movie of the week activity inspired me to pick this up and I really liked Deleuze's Coldness and Cruelty.

I went into the public library last month for the first time since lockdown started and I wanted to take out a Spanish book but they were mostly translations of bestsellers from other languages. So I took out this one I never heard of (the description is bilingual). I'm using it to rebuild advanced fluency (ask me about vocabulary building methods) and the book turns out to be very very good.

I finished these today. Here is the PDF for Marcuse and the one for Acid Communism. I started Andrea Dworkin's Intercourse a couple months ago and I want to get back into it. I'll start Huey Newton's autobiography pretty soon as well.
