34 pages in, I determined that this isn't a book I can read without underlining. Fortunately it was available affordable used, so it's been ordered and this copy will go back to the library. I'll continue reading the history of libraries next, and hopefully be able to pick up Curye on Inglysch after that.

I have zero recollection of where I heard about this book or when I ordered it at the library, but it showed up today so I'll read it. Sounds super interesting and I'm looking forward to reading it.

Dilara It does sound super interesting! Stacked... 10mo
annamatopoetry @Dilara i read a similar, more geographically specific book, in swedish on the same topic a few years ago, but it's always nice to be able to recommend English language books so I hope I like it! 10mo
Dilara @annamatopoetry 🙂The Swedish book does indeed sound interesting. If only there was an English translation... 10mo

Imagined Communities is the most accessible text on nationalism that I‘ve read recently. Anderson‘s examination of the origins of the concept of the nation, and the spread of nationalism is logically argued and thoroughly supported. It is interesting to read a perspective which traces this structure of identity not to Europe, but to South America. An engaging and thoughtful read.

Y‘all probably don‘t care but I‘m reading this book for one class I teach and just found a segment that is super relevant to another class I teach and now I feel like I‘m winning at work reading.

rockpools 🎉🎉🎉! Actually, I'm wracking my brains to work out what I've read by this author - his name's so familiar. Maybe I just should've read this 🤔 6y
ClairesReads @RachelO this is his best known work 😊😊 (edited) 6y

A bit of casual school reading to offset my recreational reading this weekend
