What's everyone reading? I just started A.D. 1000: A World on the Brink of Apocalypse by Richard Erdoes. I don't know. I saw it on the shelf and it somehow seemed appropriate. - ThreadSky

I saw that A.D. 1000 at the library - what do you think?

bambooshooti.bsky.social•43 days ago

I just started it, but what I’ve read so far is quite compelling. Not dry history at all.

Currently reading The FBI Files of Malcolm X and it's pretty hilarious the way they released a book that is almost completely blacked out.

I’ve told people for the last eight years. Remember reading about the fall of the Roman Empire and wondering what it was like? Pay attention to what’s going on now. We’re in the last days of the fall of the American Empire.

The world is entering a downswing of history. I'm not ashamed to shill my dad's book that covers electricity, ammo, water, food, health, and sustainability. These topics are covered in ways that other books do not. Especially making, storing and using electricity.

How is it?

reply

bambooshooti.bsky.social•42 days ago

Good. I’ve only read the first chapter. I’m slow. I have little time to read.

reply

bambooshooti.bsky.social•42 days ago

Which is a funny thing for me to say, given that I read all day. But I meant little time to sit down and read a book from start to finish.

Untamed by Glennon Doyle, feminism is for everybody by bell hooks, and 1984 by George Orwell. One on audio, one on ebook, and one paperback, because I can’t focus on just one thing anymore 😩

I am reading ‘The Last honest Man’ by James Rosen written in 2023. It is a biography of Senator Frank Church and his investigation into the international corporate links and no formal oversight to the CIA. It is great investigative reporting but you’ll need either a bottle of gin or box of Depends.

Brain Droppings by George Carlin, Zen Guitar by Toshio Sudo, and and my third reading of what exists of A Song Of Ice And Fire by George RR Martin, depending on my mood

Brain Droppings is great. Not familiar with the other two. I always appreciate learning about books!
