Fiction or Non-Fiction, academic or casual, theory or non-theory, feel free to mention books of any genre and on any topic.
This week I've finished reading "How the West Brought War to Ukraine" (2022) by Benjamin Abelow. It's incredible how many things aren't even mentioned in the mainstream when talking about the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, and how most of it is conveniently blamed on "Putin going insane"!
The book is pretty short, about 80 pages long, but I'm still happy to have read it to the end. I think this is the first book I've read to the end in a long time, because up until now, even in Marxist theory, I've only read essays. ๐ But I think this is a step in the right direction to change that.
