Redpoet is 70% done with Disaster Nationalism: The Downfall of Liberal Civilization
I don’t think much of this book. It makes little sense and is just sort of a mismash of things. Malabo, the author obviously is in love with a thesaurus. I may finish someday, but I just could not get into it.

Lots of fiends recommended this to me, but I am just not taken with it. I do plan to finish some day.

Redpoet is starting A Promise and a Way Of Life: White Antiracist Activism
It’s a book I seem to just fall back to from time to time. It’s weird because I like it.

Redpoet is 50% done with Foucault with Marx
I am done wasting my time with this gobblygook….Foucault and the author have little to say that any normal human being could understand…I don’t buy this shit. The only person clear in this book is Marx and we don’t get to hear much from him…

Redpoet is on page 211 of 688 of Beyond State, Power, and Violence (Kairos)
Incredibly important and powerful book. It takes a while to read b ecause it is very comprehensive as a person who tends to highlight important things in books that I am reading, I’m probably highlighting 2/3 of this book…

Redpoet is on page 27 of 287 of Gangsters vs. Nazis: How Jewish Mobsters Battled Nazis in Wartime America
The author has a very simplistic idea of history, political theory and the like, but that is actually part of the fun of this book. That said, the subject matter is serious and little known.

Redpoet is starting The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man
I first read this book about 20 years ago. I re-read it every so often. Now, is one of those so often.

Interesting tie bits. It has become the book I read off and on and between other choices. The author has an axe to grind, but I won’t tell you what I think it is.

Redpoet is on page 101 of 432 of Summer of '69
if for some reason you are looking for a light summer read about some privileged white folks in 1969, this is your book. Their is a peculiar reason why I happen to be doing so. Twenty some years ago I wrote a novel/manuscript which used song titles from the time as individual chapter titles which expressed a subject common to that particular chapter. I ran across this novel,which does the same.

I have not gone far into this book, but once again I am so very much impressed with the depth of the author. I hesitate to say it, but he reminds me of Marx in the depth and rigor of his work.

I like and enjoy the book, but pit it aside for a while as I have other long books I need to read now.

I am reading this for at least the third time, maybe more. I bought the new sequel, so I wanted to re-read the original. One of the more important novels ever.

Redpoet is 50% done with Sacred Hunger (Sacred Hunger #1)
Will I ever finish it. It’s a great book but when you are reading three books concurrently, and then your reading schedule gets all messed up by the real world...things go slowly...I keep putting my fiction reading time off until late,and then, voila, it’s time for bed. Lol
