I have a little difficulty to read long text, i lose focus rather easy and my mind starts to wander, still managed to read impressive 2 books last year Sophias World to get an intro in philosophy and I Robot from assimov, and the communist manifest, but i didn’t understood anything :(, half of a book about operation carwash, and some other scattered texts. still no theory tho :(

anyway, trying to get back on reading to see if im able to pick the habit to be able to read some denser texts like the capital.

what you think of my book of choice?

    i’ve read that book in the original Russian. definitely one of my favorite classics (even though as another commenter pointed out, Dostoevsky had some weird politics).

    if you are struggling to read however, I would suggest getting into more modern writers (for both fiction and non-fiction)? It helped me a lot when I was struggling and I still read contemporary stuff when I just want to relax.

      yeah, when i read sophias, i didn’t got lost all that often, was easier to read, about his politics the preface of this edition says in short that russia was a pot of wacky politics
