I am reading the Harold M. Tanner and I have bought "Mexifornia".

@EnopoletusHarding I have read 100 pages of the Harold M. Tanner (out of 289).

@EnopoletusHarding I promise to finish reading the Harold M. Tanner within a week.

@EnopoletusHarding Now 200 pages.

@EnopoletusHarding Now 219 pages.

@EnopoletusHarding Now 239 pages.

@EnopoletusHarding Now 249 pages.

@EnopoletusHarding Now 259 pages.

@EnopoletusHarding I have finished the Tanner; it was very bad.

I have read three chapters of the Book of Wisdom.

Bet on what books I will finish this month:

https://manifold.markets/EnopoletusHarding/which-books-will-i-finish-this-mont

@EnopoletusHarding I have now read eight chapters of the Book of Wisdom.

I might read this book:

https://books.google.com/books?id=XQsGAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=ancient+fragments&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiQj9eG9K6KAxW5ITQIHZ7HIpIQ6AF6BAgMEAI#v=onepage&q&f=false

This month I am buying Hanson's "Mexifornia"; I am currently reading Hayek's "Road to Serfdom"; it's surprisingly good.

@EnopoletusHarding Might buy "Stand on Zanzibar", but this is unlikely this month.

I found this free translation of the Enuma Elish; I don't know what I'll do with it:

https://www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?docid=b-9781350297425

@EnopoletusHarding I am on p. 14.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 29.

I've read McDougall's "Starch Solution"; it is very good.

@EnopoletusHarding After this, I might read Zamatin's "We" and Park's "A Single Shard".

I'm now reading Sanders's "Where We Go from Here". Next I might read the Aeneid.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 39 out of 278.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 90.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 99; this book isn't very good. I'll have to switch to reading the Guide to Political Revolution.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 75 of the Guide to Political Revolution (basically a platform).

@EnopoletusHarding Tomorrow I plan to finish Adler's "Between Yahwism and Judaism" and Sanders's Guide to Political Revolution, as well as finish the preview of Keay's China history.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/between-yahwism-and-judaism/DF4B36DC1118F3DDAF3A060C7B4878CC

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 189 of the Guide to Political Revolution.

@EnopoletusHarding Finished with the Guide to Political Revolution.

@EnopoletusHarding Finished with "Between Yahwism and Judaism"; it's not very good.

@EnopoletusHarding I've previewed the Keay; it's not very good.

@EnopoletusHarding I have also previewed the Ropp; it's actually pretty good (if filled with errors).

I am previewing histories of China; so far the best I found is Michael Woods's.

@EnopoletusHarding I still bought Harold Tanner's second volume because it was cheaper.

I think I will start reading The Very Short Introduction to The Self at some point this week.

@EnopoletusHarding OK; I've started on it.

I have pirated MacMullen's "Corruption and the Decline of Rome".

I am now reading the Analects of Confucius, p. 123 (the translation starts on p. 116) out of 263.

I re-read David Skrbina's "The Jesus Hoax"; review here:

https://eharding.substack.com/p/review-of-skrbinas-the-jesus-hoax

I am now reading Ehrman's "Jesus, Interrupted", now up to p. 14 out of 293.

@EnopoletusHarding Now up to p. 44.

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 74.

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 127. This book is garbage, suitable only for people who don't know anything about the New Testament.

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 163. My opinion stands.

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 184.

@EnopoletusHarding even though I don't really trust Ehrman, I'll probably buy his "God's Problem".

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 222.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 278.

@EnopoletusHarding All done; this book was very bad.

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

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 71.

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 80.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 94.

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

@EnopoletusHarding Now up to p. 27.

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

@EnopoletusHarding now p. 19.

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 31

@EnopoletusHarding now p. 32

@EnopoletusHarding Now p. 46

@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.

@EnopoletusHarding I promise to finish this book today.

@EnopoletusHarding I promise to finish this book today.

@EnopoletusHarding OK; though I broke my promise, I finally finished the book today; apparently I can only read ~20 pages per day. I will not review it.

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 p. 91.

@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 Next books I plan to read are Che Guevara's "Guerilla Warfare" and Park Chung Hee's "Our Nation's Path". After that, the Amulet of Samarkand and the Analects of Confucius. After that the Zhuangzi and Harvey's Brief History of Neoliberalism.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 249.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 273.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 286.

@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 292.

@EnopoletusHarding I'm now reading the afterword.

@EnopoletusHarding All done.
