I started Toni Morrison’s Bluest Eyes and Marx’s Inferno
just read the blurb for Inferno, looks pretty wild. How are you finding it?
I’m on chapter 1 as he breaks down the way he will be interpreting Marx’s Capital but already got a bunch of reading recs and some contextual information about the discussion around socialism at the time. I like seeing that moral throughline that while not often emphasized, still lives within Socialism.
I’m about 70 pages into this reaganland doorstop. Having grown up with parents who worshiped reagan, dragged me to pro life rallies, etc- reading it is almost therapeutic lol

Shiver by Junji Ito
Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker. Yes, I know. It’s not great. There are some interesting statistics pointing out how technology has improved people’s lives (although he implicitly seems to conflate “technology” with “capitalism”), but in many cases he either misses the point or cherrypicks data to implicitly support a Neoliberal narrative. I used to love Steven Pinker books when I was younger, but I’ve gotten to like him less over the years, and I think this book might be the final nail in the coffin.
