I read much, much more non-fiction but I suppose I like it and fiction about the same. I’m obviously passionate about politics and the material, but I can burn myself out on theory and have sent myself spiraling before going down certain rabbit holes. I can get passionate about fiction, but it always feels so less urgent than theory, so there’s usually a twinge of silly guilt within me when I start getting passionate about a work of fictional literature.

I buy from Amazon more often than not, and I just got a Kindle. Sucks, but it is what it is. If PSL or Peace, Land and Bread drop a new book I’ll try to buy it straight from them to support the comrades.

Reading sporadically “Berserk” manga, “Revolt of the Angels” by Anatole France and “Wretched of the Earth” by Fanon. I don’t know what I expected out of Fanon, something that felt more academic and unengaged maybe, but his passion and fire are absolutely infectious. His words on the meaning of violence and the horrific dehumanization a la colonialism are as poignant as ever. Something I’m sick of is publishing houses adding forewords to Fanon’s works written by “leftist”, white intellectuals examining the writing as if it were written by an object to be admired or scorned rather than a revolutionary, brilliant man. Sorry, I don’t give a flying fuck what Zizek or Sartre think of this work and their qualms with it. What they would have changed, what they agree with. Smh, why the fuck should anyone care?

Sorry. Little heated lol.
