Another Hopeful Fool started reading Marx: a very short introduction by Peter Singer (Very short introductions ;)
Time to go a little beyond the thumbnail view I got in my political philosophy classes.
Reviews and Comments
Mostly read around bedtime. Mostly.

Since the ratings on the Bookwyrms don't impact authors' livelihoods, I feel comfortable getting more granular and using all the stars, so if you see a 3/5 rating on a book I say I liked, this is a rough breakdown of what I mean by my stars:
- ★☆☆☆☆ I was offended. I think this book has serious flaws.
- ★★☆☆☆ Not really my thing, and may have been a struggle.
- ★★★☆☆ Liked it, maybe even a lot. Might re-read.
- ★★★★☆ Loved this, and I want to talk about it.
- ★★★★★ I am obsessed. I may even be shaking right now.
As always, the text of my review is a much more accurate representation of my feelings.
I have a very WIP website here.

Haven't read this in a while. So far it's more of a downer than I remember. Where's the cozy authoritarian utopia fiction at? Lol

Omnibus edition with all five books, which I have on loan from the library. I've read them before as a young man, but thought I'd give them a re-read given a recent birthday of mine which coincides with a significant number in the series. :p

It holds up so well. The part about media getting shorter and shorter (like movies lasting only minutes) seemed especially prescient, given the rise of short video content.

(This is in re to the second volume.)
Started reading a while ago, and recently picked it back up again. It kind of takes a dip in readability near middle which is why I set it down originally.
But now I'm really into it again! The last half of the anthology has some great stories.
Spoiler if you're sensitive to Black Mirror-esque fates-worth-than-death, skip the story: Sleeping Beauties by Agnieszka Hałas.
