My reading is more 'project'-oriented these days. Currently focusing in on Voltairine de Cleyre, putting together a heavily annotated "complete works" pdf, for myself. Also focusing in on Alfredo M. Bonanno and the whole Anarchismo run, which demands lots of translating, and putting together ideas from a mix of bad translations and my bad Italian reading skills.

Also, Proudhon's War and Peace, but I'm no longer in any hurry about it.

And chapters from books on Italian cinema, German cinema.

What's the motivation behind the annotated Voltairine de Cleyre collection ?? Very cool that you're doing that. And I'm curious what your thoughts on her are!

"Annotated", well... I don't comment on it, I just keep filling in any and all details I can find, and make the whole thing more 'browseable' by inserting internal links. I wanted to have some of her material in one place and in chronological order; it eventually turned into a much more comprehensive collection. And then into an exercise in editing/presenting text, to get a feel for what's possible in pdf.

About Voltairine de Cleyre, right now I don't feel like formulating any too general thoughts. I might try again later.

Amazing. Share when you're done with it?
I might try doing the same with Nicolas Walter, but I want to see how you're doing it first
