Fiction or Non-Fiction, academic or casual, theory or non-theory, feel free to mention books of any genre and on any topic.
I'm reading On Contradiction by Mao Zedong. The paragraphs 3 and 4 in "The Particularity of Contradiction" are the best.
Oh hey I just finished reading that, wasn't the first time I read it but I needed to read it again. Now I'm going to read Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxemburg, I heard it in audobook format but I'm not good at absorbing complex stuff by audio, I need text.
Same. Text is dense, but it's easier to absorb with the right meta-cognition tools. Have you tried both? Reading while you hear the audiobook?
I think that would be too distracting for me, part of why text is easier for me is I set my own pace, that and it requires deliberate focus that makes it easier for my mind not to wonder.
