Anarchism Is Not Enough by Laura Riding.

Really enjoying it and not at all what I expected. Would highly recommend to anyone into nihilism, individualism, egoism, Stirner, Nietzsche, etc.

Do you have an introductory tl:dr you can give us?

It addresses literature, poetry, criticism, language, etc. the intro by Lisa Samuels is worth a read itself.

The link that was posted of the first chapter should give you an idea of whether it would interest you or not. It’s called The Myth and is only a few pages but packs quite an antisocial punch.

What really strikes me is how current so much of her writing feels. Some pieces wouldn’t seem to be out of place (time) if you posted on anews today.

How Holocausts Happen.

Decent book that goes into the Holocaust and its causes, and then draws parallels to the US actions in central america. About halfway through right now.

After this i have People's History of the Vietnam War.

Crockett's Victory Garden. It's a book version of an old PBS series.

I'm going to have more garden space this year, And I'll be planting more intensively then I have before.

How's this going?

just got into it, but so far a somewhat autobiographical account of Genet's time spent in '30s Barcelona, and their (almost holy) embrace of whats considered a taboo and rough way of life. an introspective and poetic writer.
