Alienation, autonomy, and ideology
These are posts about books from the blog Base and Superstructure. Occasionally I’ll read a book worth talking about, and write some thoughts on it. These cover a wide range of topics from the blog.
Hello everyone and welcome to the penultimate edition of the reading list for 2024! It’s hard to believe we’re so close to the end of the year.
Lately I’ve been reading social accounts, both of the world and of social justice movements. That’s reflected in the list below. And, of course, I can’t pass on a good dystopia.
I’m proud to say I’ve got quite an eclectic mix of books for the reading list this month! But I’m less to proud to say that most of the books are from mainstream political and academic figures.
What can I say? With an election coming up, I’ve had the desire to do a bit of reading in mainstream politics and society. Maybe I can pick up some reasons why people do the things they do?
I’ll certainly take understanding over imitation.
Alas, we’ve reached the fall. But there’s still plenty of reading to do.
For this edition of the reading list, I’ll continue with the themes of baseball and history. Along with those books, I’ve also got some new sci-fi for you.
Enjoy!
Welcome to the August 2024 edition of the reading list! I’ve been on a baseball theme this summer. This month will continue that theme in a big way. We’ll also have some fiction to go along with it.
Read on to see the full list. And, as always, let me know what’s on your list!
Okay, so summer’s heating up by the point, and we’re halfway to the end of the baseball season.
Of course, I do have a baseball book on the list this month. Because why wouldn’t I? Mostly, though, I’ve got some history for you.
