    I am currently reading Perfume by Patrick Süskind and Red star over the third world by vijay prishad. The former is decent fiction which I got from a friend, and I haven’t read much fiction in a while. The latter is decent, too, I bought it a couple of months ago. Once I’m done with them, I intend to start Democracy and dictatorship in the Soviet Union by Anna Louise strong (pdf), and V for vendetta (the comic), which I got for Christmas. I prefer reading fiction, it draws me in and keeps me interested better, but I also feel somewhat obligated (and genuinely interested), to work through my long list of Marxism and history related books, which are less captivating, but still very interesting.

      Yeah, Vijay Prashad is at least decent in his writing, though he’s not the best, so to speak.

        I found he was good at compiling many different events and things related to the topic, but a bit boring. Similar with Washington bullets, which I listened to the audiobook of. At least he’s concise and easy to understand.

          Concise and brings you up to speed, but nothing new to say.

          I agree.
