I am currently working my way through chapter 3, section 9 of Deleuze and Guattari's Anti Oedipus

Your excellent write-up convinced me to look up this book. The original title is, Capitalisme et schizophrénie. L'anti-Œdipe. Honestly, America should replace "e pluribus unum" on our money with "Capitalism and Schizophrenia". Perfectly explains our country.


But I do wonder what you disagree with.

I just didn't know about this Galactic Empire prequel written by Isaac Asimov himself.
He didn't add it officially to the main lore of robots, empires & foundations, but it rings some bells on future subjects developed on the next books he wrote:


I'll pick it up from the public library during summertime and review it here soon after.

oh i had no idea this thread existed. how nice.
honestly digital media has kept me more from reading than id like to admit. i periodically make resolutions to change this.
few books in recent memory have touched me as much as remainder by tom maccarthy

and annihilation by jeff vandermeer

neither one is exactly a hidden gem, both were turned into movies. but i think they are both brilliant.

oh and in terms of nonfiction, entangled life by merlin sheldrake also a great read. i wonder if this got referenced in the mushroom thread here...

i also really enjoyed the expanse series. however i got distracted midway through babylon's ashes, and now i lost the plot. my memory is terrible. i guess i should rerstart it. in your opinion @florduh - is this worth the effort, does the quality keep up with the earlier volumes?
