My New Year's Resolution for 2025 is to read more theory, thoughts on my reading list?
(lemmygrad.ml)
note: the section labeled other things I want to read is just things I find interesting and want to learn about, not necessarily an endorsement of the ideologies or authors on there (and also not necessarily not an endorsement)
That's an ambitious list for a year, depending of course on your reading speed and free time. Otherwise that is a nice selection. My only critiques would be that you are missing Capital, unless you've already read it, and that some of the others should be in the essentials(namely Lenin's what is to be done and left wing). That being said they are on your list so it is just a very minor thing
yes I know it's a lot, but the second half is just stuff that I want to read eventually/things I have a vague interest in reading and that's why it's separate from the "essentials"
I have a physical copy of Capital and I tried to read it years ago, it's just long, dense, and frankly boring
Edit: I didn't see that you said what is to be done, I meant to add that so thank you for reminding me
How far did you get into Capital? The first few chapters are a real meat grinder, but it does pick up after that. "First few chapters" does minimize the effort though, ha, since that's like its own book in and of itself.
my brain has completely blocked out any memory of my experience reading it (boredom or trauma, call it)
