Y'all reading anything interesting?

[TEH]

Come to think of it,

50 cent - hustle harder, hustle smarter

Or something like that

Napoleon Hill - master key to riches

Both are great self help books with very sensible anecdotes. The latter is a classic and IMHO better than "think and go rich", which i generally regard as the first self help book. Read master key and you might not need any other self improvement text short of something religious, if you're into that.

Read both of them

I’m reading the ‘Murderbot Diaries’ and on the 6th book. Not as funny as I thought it would be but it’s very good sci-fi series with great action moments. Also ‘Shogun’ is a fantastic book, if you haven’t read that.

Over the years I've read 100x more on here than actual books.

Written about 5 novels worth too

Ever thought about consolidating all those?

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Ever thought about consolidating all those?

Actually.. yeah.

The Narrow Corridor argues that liberty requires both “state capacity” (power of the state) and popular mobilization (power of society) to keep Leviathan shackled. The shackled Leviathan opens a narrow corridor between despotism and the cage of norms or continuous violence.

Liberty is hardly the "natural" order of things. In most places and at most times, the strong have dominated the weak and human freedom has been quashed by force or by customs and norms. Either states have been too weak to protect individuals from these threats, or states have been too strong for people to protect themselves from despotism. Liberty emerges only when a delicate and precarious balance is struck between state and society.

 

[Redwood]

Actually.. yeah.

I'll read it

I just copped Neuromancer from William Gibson, it's apparently considered a genre-defining classic in cyberpunk fiction and partly inspired a fantastic game I love that is called Citizen Sleeper.
Its take on the development of the internet is supposedly still very fresh and insanely predictive of what would happen given that the book was written in its infancy.
So I'm looking forward to starting reading it.

Besides that, here is some of what I'm currently reading (only books with English versions):

(Also contains the ABC of Anarchism in the French version I'm reading)

 

[Capitol]

Which one?

The Land of Gods. My bad thought I bolded it

 

[jmegamar]

The Grift: The Downward Spiral of Black Republicans from the Party of Lincoln to the Cult of Trump​

What electronics y'all reading on? I use my phone, my surface tablet, iPad, and android tablet, but then again I convert all my ebooks to PDF and it's perfect everytime, everywhere.

I can auto scroll, highlight, notate, add voice notes....5 people I know have paper whites. But I don't see the hype. Only thing I like about kindle is downloading from my library but even they have a browser or app version.
