this is incredible

reading this at work when its v quiet lol

getting on the pdf lifestyle now that i deleted my socials 🫨🫨

the anti-communism is craaaaaaazy ! just constant random attacks on the ussr ! also they keep referring to connolly as a socialist and they never call marx or engels communists lol. v v telling !

book gets significantly better closer to modern times at the very least. and it has slightly helped clarify the national question regarding scotland

badly written.

weirdly anti-communist ? two out of nowhere attacks on revolutionary china and the ussr so far ! even at one point comparing james I to stalin ??
also the writing style is medicore.
otherwise alright and informative. was hoping for a more indepth analysis but using it as a "peoples history" intro to scotland makes it a worthwhile read so far !
william wallace was a hero 🫡

so many more books left to catch up on 😭😭
fantastic prose and am v intrigued here though

second uni reading of the semester (first was candide)

alright so far, paints a faaaar too positive image of the society at the time but it is informative and i think will be benefical in giving me more of a contextual grounding when i do the other readings for this module

hope to finish this tonight, already very behind my uni work because uni enrolled me 2 weeks late !! stressed !

insane !!

im completly engrossed. incredible so far
(slightly too mechanical at points and missing a class analysis tho)

maybe the best preface ive read
phenomenal writer, cant wait to delve into the rest of the text

pseudo-philosophical at points and the prose of it isnt very appealing to me
the information is great though. fungus sure is crazy

every scientist has gotta read on contradiction

bit burnt out from theory, so taking a long break and reading a few other very unrelated things haha

finished "short happy life of francis macomber" v well worth a read on what it has to say on masculanity and how its upheld
