Currently I’m reading Nina Burton’s ‘Livets tunna väggar’ which translate to something like Walls of Life. It’s a book by a Swedish writer who inherits her mother’s summer house. When she wants to renovate it, she finds all sort of life around and in the house. She uses said life to teach you something about the intellect of various insects and animals, which goes deeper than humans normally think.
It’s a very interesting book that makes me think about non-human life even more. Creatures that are thousands of times smaller than we are have such complex societal structures. Humans have overcommodified animal life for centuries now, seeing them as property and commodities instead of complex and intelligent life forms.
What are you reading?
“The East is Still Red”
What’s that like? I’ve been tempted for a while…
It’s a very good rundown of what China is and why it should be supported
Might have to add it to my list proper, in that case.
I highly recommend it! I’ve had a lot of fun reading the last two books I’ve read: “The East is Still Red” by Carlos Martinez and “The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism” by J. Sykes
