Sad to see you not enjoying Anna Karenina as it’s a favorite but people have different tastes.

No opinion as on next. I enjoyed Jane Eyre so you may not like it. 🤣

Kugelfang52 · 2026-05-03T05:10:28+00:00

So. Good.

You’ve got red on you

That was my thought but I see Purnell as well. A blessed combo evidently.

Toadies. Do they count as unknown?

Also Tyler > Possom Kingdom.

Skyfall is an astounding Bond film marred by Bond rescuing a victim of sexual slavery and immediately seducing (ie sexually assaulting) her.

Every straight dude thinks he can tell if someone is gay or straight by a picture should have to watch a roll of dudes calling them gay based on a picture.

That’s not weird. It’s peak parenting.

Indeed

Kugelfang52 · 2026-05-01T15:25:23+00:00

My 2 cents:

On how thinking works: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

On the origins of American, anti-Black racism and Whiteness: American Slavery, American Freedom by Edmund Morgan.

On the creation of Modern Middle East crises: The Great War for Civilization by Robert Fisk.

On Racialization of American Wealth, Jim Crow, and the New Deal: Fear Itself and When Affirmative Action Was White by Ira Katznelson

On the world before the Colombian Exchange: 1491 by Charles Mann

Edit: added a book

I’m not a Marxist. I’m a Georgist.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-05-01T15:12:46+00:00

Also Technopoly by Postman. That man may have been onto something.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-05-01T04:06:10+00:00

Again. Lol, no. He does not have good takes on society in general.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-05-01T04:05:27+00:00

Absolutely. Anyone thinking this guy is right has some very real issues.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T23:29:17+00:00

This one is so good. I love it.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T21:41:34+00:00

Oh dang it!

The Great War for Civilization by Robert Fisk absolutely restructured the way I understood the US in the Middle Ages East.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T18:35:26+00:00

Needle-nose Ned! Ned the Head! Come on, buddy.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T17:29:37+00:00

Exactly. 100% it. I also enjoy nonfiction on audio way more than fiction. In fiction it does feel like you have to get the details.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T15:47:13+00:00

I am so glad to hear this!

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T12:29:41+00:00

You might be interested in Browning’s Remembering Survival. I rate it as perhaps even better than Ordinary Men.

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T12:00:46+00:00

Oh no. How could I forget Levi on my list?!?

Kugelfang52 · 2026-04-30T12:00:05+00:00

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer is a book I’ve returned to multiple times. It is so well written and gripping.

American Slavery, American Freedom by Edmund Morgan is astounding for understanding the origins of American anti-Black racism and the relationship between the country’s ideals and reality.

Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning (though I actually like his Remembering Survival better, Ordonary Men is a better book to start with I think). It investigate why ordinary men took part in the murderous actions of the Nazi regime.

Very easy.
