@Tenta I have it. I've read most of classics.

2017-05-05 21:32:15 UTC  

@Tenta You're making me register with goodreads ^__^ very tempting

2017-05-05 21:32:26 UTC  

what is it about?

2017-05-05 21:32:54 UTC  

Do it! Since I registered, I remember what I have read, what I have started and what I still want to read. I hardly remember any book titles I read prior to joining.

2017-05-05 21:34:26 UTC  

I use it as a personal data base, a fancy logging site. The site also offers an extensive social media aspect that you can indulge in. You can’t download any books from there, it is not a book store, albeit the more well known titles offer direct links to sites where the books can be bought.

2017-05-05 21:34:44 UTC  

I have read plenty of obscure ones that I had to add to the data base myself.

2017-05-05 21:34:59 UTC  

I read mostly pirated books.

2017-05-05 21:35:15 UTC  

Is it alright?

2017-05-05 21:35:32 UTC  

I just pick a fitting book there.

2017-05-05 21:36:31 UTC  

@Tenta How many books did you read in total?

2017-05-05 21:36:46 UTC  

No idea, I was an avid reader in childhood.

2017-05-05 21:37:07 UTC  

Probably a few thousands in total.

2017-05-05 21:37:20 UTC  

I liked detectives in childhood and Sci-fi

2017-05-05 21:37:45 UTC  

Now mostly into philosophy and science

I think people like you have to be forced to donate sperm and procreate in millions for the socialist motherland.

2017-05-05 21:44:51 UTC  

Did you read Hegel already?

2017-05-05 21:44:53 UTC  

I read lots of history and historical politics books in my childhood.

2017-05-05 21:44:59 UTC  

What Marxist literature have you read?

2017-05-05 21:45:37 UTC  

Not yet.

2017-05-05 21:45:46 UTC  

I’m not sure what counts as Marxist literature.

2017-05-05 21:45:59 UTC  

Capital would count

2017-05-05 21:47:17 UTC  

I read some Marx, some Lenin, political East German stuff. I even read the school textbook teaching Dialectal Materialism to 12th graders.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17447189-einf-hrung-in-den-dialektischen-und-historischen-materialismus I even possess it. 😃 It’s one of the books I had to add by myself.

2017-05-05 21:51:39 UTC  

@Tenta Best practice is to study philosophy from its roots, switch to Hegel, then switch to Marx-Engels. But nobody does it because its a long way.

2017-05-05 21:51:50 UTC  

But its the best way
