If you think vol. 1 and 2 are good, you’re gonna love vol. 3.
The tendency of the rate of profit to fall is used by Marx in vol. 3 to really flesh out a revolutionary interpretation of Capitalism. It is a devastating read today, I can’t imagine reading it all those years ago.

I can’t believe I slept on this thread till it got to 60+ posts. I’m currently reading Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick. Straight up non-fiction Mathematics book. I heard about chaos theory a year or two ago and have been intrigued by it. Got the book this year for my birthday and dove in.
Enjoyed seeing the folks reading Eckhart Tolle. I started A New Earth but haven’t finished. I need to come back to that one.

The book traces epidemic outbreaks in various regions of the world and is written well. In mid March, I’d found a few lectures from her about the 1918 influenza pandemic and others and took interest in her other work. Why? Self-interest because it’s relevant to me (I should probably finish my bioscience degree) and also I appreciate the work she’s done. Take home, all states bungle public health and pandemic responses to a degree.

Great thread!
I’m reading Douglas Harding’s ‘On Having No Head’ for the second time. It makes me giddy because I can only half comprehend the concept but I know the truth is deep in there somewhere. For a book as thick as your little finger it packs a punch!

I just finished Dune because I’m interested in the forthcoming movie. I can’t say I enjoyed it.

Yeah, it’s drier than Melania on date night. Villeneuve should do alright with it though.

I love Lynch’s Dune (directors cut). So many great samples have been pulled from it. My favorite “From my dreams…so beautiful” was used by Future Sound of London.

rereading Excession by Iain M. Banks.
Why: I hope we get there some day and listening to the ships talk to each other is great.

I love that book. Probably my favourite of his, or perhaps Consider Phlebas

To be fair, Lynch made an 11 hour film. He just only shared 2¼ hours of it with us.
