Getting my mind blown once again by Daniel Quinn's The Story of B, the sequel to Ishmael.
Funny enough, I'm looking back at the forum post about Ishmael[0] and seeing that it was a year ago to the date that I originally had my mind blown by Ishmael.
If you're in Merveilles or sympathetic its values, I really can't recommend reading this book enough. If anything because I want more people to be able to talk to about the ideas in here 😬

Just finished reading Wiktopher by @rek
A delightful collection of adventures in a world unlike any other. Highly recommended!

Since it's unlikely that I'll complete my current reading before the year's end. Here's this year's reading catalog, it was a fantastic year, read some of my favourite readings ever.
My absolute highlight has also been the first reading of the year, Maurice Renard's The Blue Peril.

now that I actually have time again I've been on a bit of a binge reading a lot of interesting stuff about socialism/planned economies.
I'm trying something new of documenting the mental thread and making some more of my notes public for others to take a peek at if they're interested:

'Beware of first- hand ideas!' exclaimed one of the most advanced of them. 'First-hand ideas do not really exist. They are but the physical impressions produced by love and fear, and on this gross foundation who could erect a philosophy? Let your ideas be second-hand, and if possible tenth-hand, for then they will be far removed from that disturbing element – direct observation.

Another one that deserves a mention is To Mock a Mockingbird which I read twice this year because it's so totally ingenious in how it manages to convey complex ideas using bird songs.

I've often caught myself thinking, how is this book real. I think it's one of the most unique french novel I've ever read.

"I’d rather have a well stocked sailboat and the ability to sail it anywhere in the world than money in a bank that might fail, a job from which I might be laid off, a government pension that might dry up, insurance policies, etc.."

It's good! I didn't know that to expect going in, but it changed my mind on some so-called peaceful protests of the past, which were really just the mediatized arm of direct-action movements.
Also, I think I had totally the wrong idea about Gandhi.
