Past midnight right now. Time for a little reading before I sleep. That chapter looks so interesting: "How The Bad Reader Reads" from C.S. Lewis book: "An Experiment in Criticism". On the round! #reading#NowReading#Philosophy#Essay#CSLewis
#NowReading: An Experiment in Criticism (Spanish) from C.S. Lewis. One of my favorite writers since late 1990's
Why do we read and how we judge it? That's Lewis' work to explain the reason of the reading experience. Enjoying that ebook now ! #CSLewis#Reading#BooksWorthReading
#NowReading - adored every damn page of steve waksman's "this ain't the summer of love," broadly about the unceasing #metal / #punk / #underground collision, but beautifully granular, connecting micro-scenes to #musicology. it equally brought alive conversations i know about in detail (punk), ones i don't (metal), & made me thirsty to read more #zines, listen to more #music, etc.. combined with his masterful "live music in america," i now wanna read everything waksman has written. @bookstodon
#nowreading "Czego nie pamiętamy" - hit w Niemczech, wczoraj wyszło pierwsze wydanie polskiego tłumaczenia. Christiane Hoffmann rusza w podróż śladami ojca, wypędzonego po wojnie z terenów, które weszły w skład Polski. Ale to tylko jeden z poziomów historii. W zasadzie nie zamierzałem czytać tej książki od razu, bo mam ileś jednocześnie otwartych wątków i sporą kupkę wstydu, ale ona jest tak napisana (i przetłumaczona), że z "tylko spojrzę" zrobiło się natychmiastowe wejście w lekturę.
I'm going to start a new hashtag - #DisagREAD
I'll be using it when I post a book I'm #NowReading where I'm pretty sure I won't agree with the author. It's different from "hate reading" where you despise the writer. It's more professional disagreements in general where I don't want folks to think I'm promoting the author or their ideas in the book but I'm instead reading it to better my counterarguments
My lovely friend sent me his copy of Choosing Death! I only ever got about 1/4 of the way through this book the last time and had to return it. It really is an interesting read, and now that I’m not too busy I’m excited to read the rest!
Fans of Death Metal, Grindcore and punk will love this!
#NowReading Russia and the Western Far Right: Anton Shekhovtsov
Gives you an idea of why #Putin could be (is already?) a darling of the Western Far-right. And how he's played with the greed of Western capitalists.
In his speech at Valdai in 2013, Putin rejected three ideologies: Soviet communism, Western liberalism, and Russian nationalism. While he also expressed criticism towards ‘fundamental conservatism’ that idealised ‘pre-1917 Russia’.
he explained that ‘the rise of xenophobia among the native indigenous population’ was a result of ‘people being shocked by the aggressive pressure on their traditions [and a] familiar way of life, and [of people] being seriously scared of losing a nation-state identity’.
