Some interesting juxtapositions there. What kind of sicko can slide from Negri's intense close reading of Marx's Grundrisse the one moment, and then hang out with Precious Ramotswe the next? Um ...
That's my tally for this quarter, though readers may be interested to know I plan on writing a review of Nick Srnicek's excellent little book on capitalism and the social media firms.
What have you been reading lately?
The Human Stain is one of my all time favourites.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Bullseye by James Patterson, Oh My it is like reading an epic movie! sooooo riveting.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's one of mine too. Speedy. Probably Roth's best novel.
ReplyDeleteThe Fourth Industrial Revolution by Klaus Schwab was interesting
ReplyDeleteWow. That's a host of interesting books to read from. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteOh, I would recommend Adults in the Room by Yanis Varoufakis. It is probably the key political memoir of this era, even though he does come across as a bit of a plonker.
