Hey Beehaw (and others)! Whatcha reading?
@Kamirose i am currently reading the left hand of darkness, Babylons ashes. And I am listening to the Andy Serkis version of the silmarillion.
Just started a Frida Kahlo bio. It’s interesting to read about different people whose lives intersected. I’ve already read Diego & Trotsky’s autobiographies, a bio of Tina Modotti, and a few other books about the Mexican modern art scene of the 20s, so it’s all starting to connect and make sense…
Just picked up the earthsea books (with pictures!) by Le Guin and am having a blast diving back in. I hadn’t read this in a long time, having a great time.
I’m listening (if that counts?) to Lord of the rings (i’m on Return of the King - book 5). Been really enjoying it so far, there are many more significant differences to the movies than I was expecting.
At the moment it’s easier to get time in for audio books (during late night toddler wakes and car journeys etc)
“Radical Markets” by Weyl and Posner.
As an anti-authoritarian anti-capitalist I find many of their proposals to be objectionable. I lean towards open borders simply on freedom of association grounds, so I am opposed to their immigration proposals. Their common ownership self-assessed tax on the other hand is very interesting because it allows collectivization of some of the returns to capital while still managing capital in a decentralized fashion.
