Getting an EReader has increased the rate at which I read drastically. Reading becomes less of a task and more of a convenient way to spend time.
Reading Marx and Engels is also a great primer for anyone getting into Leftist theory.
Man seconding this. My reading goal was 20 books and I have smashed it before half of the year was over. Few years ago I couldn't even read got in a year
Yep, same! Not quite at that pace but it totally reversed my years-long spell of not being able to finish a single book in a year
Have you read any Domenico Losurdo? I want to, but am afraid it will be a dense read.
Not yet, getting an EReader has really accelerated my reading, but I really want to hammer in the basics before moving on to the likes of Parenti and Losurdo. Plus, I have queer theory like Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink and Blue as well as Fanon's works on colonialism I want to visit before then.
