Harding's reading log
Aug 12, 2025

I will post what I'm reading in the comments.

I am now reading Adler's "Origins of Judaism", now up to p. 24 out of 236.

@EnopoletusHarding Finished chapter 1 (pig and fish dietary rules); now up to p. 50.

I am now reading Iran: A Very Short Introduction up to p. 30 out of 124.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 94.

Now reading A Vindication of the Rights of Woman up to p. 23 out of 169.

I am now reading The BRICS: A Very Short Introduction up to p. 13 out of 136.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 52. The starting point was good, but this book reminds me why I don't recommend Very Short Introductions.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 54.

Will you post reviews of each book after you've finished reading it?

@jim For some books, yes, especially if I find them interesting. I can't make any promises, though.

@jim I think I will write a review of "It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism".

Reading Bernie Sanders's "It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism" up to p. 82 of 309.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 96; on the "billionaires should not exist" chapter.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 101.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 116

@EnopoletusHarding Now on the health care chapter (p. 122).

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 128.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 150 (still on the healthcare chapter).

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 154 (where Sanders praises Debs).

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 174 (where Sanders promotes a job guarantee).

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 184.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 199 ("Tax the Robots").

@EnopoletusHarding At this point, I have concluded Bernie Sanders is a moron (though this is more apparent in the "Guide to Political Revolution").

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 222.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 227.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 238.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 249.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 273.
