In terms of theory, I don’t consider myself well read. Theory is often really tough for me to read. Even with very easy-to-read writers like Michael Parenti, it’s dense with mindblowing info. And things like the book Will to Change by Bell Hooks hits me in really raw feelings so I stopped at the first chapter. I need the easiest authors and their easiest-to-read works, or else I’m just not reading.
-Micahel Parenti: What’s a Slum? Urban Poverty and Marginality in America
-“I Have a Dream, a Blurred Vision” by Michael Parenti"
-Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth
No idea how I got through “Friendly Feudalism.” I read these all about 3.5 years ago before I lost the bandwidth to go further.
Edit: I tend to watch things more so I guess you can add video links after everything else too.
i can’t recommend that. it’s a couple really good quotes adrift in a sea of some of the boringest boring to ever bore.
it’s ok to have bad taste
yeah all the people who derive enjoyment from steinbeck’s prose should be neurology case studies. I used to like reading, grapes is a horrible read.
it’s ok to be wrong
right, the consensus on the quality of his writing is incorrect.
really no judgement, somebody has gotta be the target audience for Dan Brown and Lee Child books
now shots have been fired
i was more of a Jules Verne and The Autobiography of Malcolm X kid
that’s how i felt when i tried to read that book yeah
