Is there space for nonfiction on /lit/?
Share what you're reading!

I'm currently going through a biography on John Adams (pic related). I'm only at the beginning, but I find him to be a very relatable character, filled with self doubts.
I'm also concurrently reading a biography of Mao Zedong in preparation for the upcoming Chinese Century.

 No.179

On Suicide Bombing by Talal Asad.
Its not about suicide bombers themselves, but a cultural analysis of Western liberals and how they react to what they call terrorism. The book presents some arguments that are disturbing and hard to swallow. Difficult read.

 No.209

I've felt motivated to reread Democracy The God That Failed. It's still probably the best chud book ever made

IMO you should read "A Short History of Man" by the same author instead, if you haven't already; it's almost as good as "Democracy: the God that failed".

 No.324

Going to bat for Bruce Catton's Centennial History of the Civil War trilogy & Army of the Potomac trilogy, and Jamees McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" & "For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War." Some of the best books on the American Civil War you can find. Perfectly break down the conflict and takes a look at the motivations & goals of both sides of the war.

In a similar vain, "Company Aytch" and "All for the Union" are both great books giving the perspectives from common soldiers on both sides of the war.

I always forget I told myself I’d give this a read a while back.
Pic rel is what I’m working through now.

 No.327

Anti-Oedipus is legitimately the best book I've ever read.

 No.328

you should really read a thousand plateaus if you haven’t yet. even if you just read nomadology and get back to the rest of it later
