Came through the post today

 

[Eddie Brock]

Soledad Brother by George Jackson

 

[mbewane]

Reading Tidiane N'Diaye's "Génocide voilé" ("Veiled Genocide") about Arab-Muslim slavery of Africans.

 

[The Singularity]

Looks good.

Just picked up "Bobby Kennedy the making of a liberal icon" and a book on early tactics in the 1st World war. Hope to get something on ballistics tomorrow.

 

[EndDomination]

Picked up a few new books:
Getting to Maybe: How to Excel on Law School Exams by. Jeremy R. Paul
Axis of Convenience by. Bobo Lo
I Am a Strange Loop by. Douglas Hofstadter
A Case of Exploding Mangoes by. Mohammed Hanif

Really interesting, especially the Hofstadter book, kind of takes you on a journey through conceptions of "I" and pattern-seeking.
Edit: Forgot to mention also picked up a .pdf of Anarchism and the Black Revolution by. Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin.
If anyone wants the link, I'll post it below:

Drop a few notes on the Kennedy book once you get done, I'm interesting in hearing about that

For sure, I'm about 1/3 done, so far a great book that deals with the environment around RFK nationally and personally as much as with the man himself.

Re-reading "100 years of solitude" by Garcia Marquez, must be like the third or fourth time I'm reading it

Reading The Science of Love by John Baines. It approaches the definition of love from a Hermetic/occult perspective.

As one might expect, his analyses on what love truly is versus what we have been taught it is are vastly different. It offers some great food for thought.

Interesting book and detailed academic look at Black entrepreneurship from West Africans (including slave trading) to the 21st century.

Been using this for the past year. It approaches occult sciences in a grounded way for those look to practice practical spirituality.
