    I am admittedly waaay behind on my reading. Partially due to weather playing with my brain.

    For non-fiction I’m still at Cornforth. Finally finished the bits about language, now onto ideologies and science. He writes quite well and interestingly about the formation of ideologies off of the material conditions, although I would imagine some of the more religious comrades might find it offensive (he speaks about the formation of religion a few times).

    For fiction, I continue massaging my brain with Warhammer novels, specifically the Crime series. It’s a bit hit and miss, but I like the setting - backtracking from the grandiose and monumental, and focusing instead on what’s happening in the background. The madness and misery, much of it brought on by the system itself, even if unintentionally.

    Frankly a lot of fiction is getting hard to read, because of the various biases and overall undialectic or unmaterial views

      The weather?

      Ah, maybe a bout of seasonal depression…

            Affected by weather. I.e. changes in atmospheric pressure (that come before rains and such) give me headaches. Not as much as it used to, but still

              Well, at least it’s gotten better.
