  • here’s the 3 books im reading at the moment :)

    i saw this one posted about a bunch on the bear website, im about a quarter of the way through and i can say it’s already taught me a lot about myself. the author discusses at length the challenges faced by primarily autistic people, but also adhd people, and neurodiverse people in general. im going to make my girlfriend read it too >:^)

    this is quite a well written biography of the ancient chinese poet li bai, we follow li through his life as he struggles to be taken seriously by the chinese elite. the author does seem to be a lib though and it comes through a couple of times.

    this is i think pynchon’s debut novel, im about 70% through. im not sure what to make of it: beautiful prose, harsh realities, im thoroughly engrossed and also feel as though i have no idea what’s going on. the book lights up all the right parts of my brain for conspiracy shit


    i recently finished anna karenina, it’s my favourite book. Lenin on Tolstoy: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1910/nov/16d.htm
