This one didn‘t really click for me and that‘s likely due to a variety of reasons. First, I was tired when reading most of it. Second, because I was tired I wasn‘t able to readily transport my mind to the 1950‘s when this was written. And while I have a good knowledge of wwii, and russia as a whole, knowledge of Marx and communist theory largely eludes me. Given some sleep, background and concentration I feel I could get a lot more out of it.

This is such a powerful book, it‘s a shame more people haven‘t read it.

Interesting in varying ways, but honestly, it was a bit meandering and at times it felt like it was being made overly-complicated. Well-written, and I admit this is not my thing, but it was a bit of a slog. Made for a couple of interesting conversations though!

Sorry to any #EclecticReaders who are enjoying this month's pick, but I just can't get into it. I will plow through it today, but I can't neglect the rest of my books for this anymore! 😧

I'm not looking forward to my book club book for this month unfortunately and we meet next week. So to motivate myself, I'm reading Attack on Titan first and then I'll start The Captive Mind. Wait, I might be doing this in the wrong order.....😅

And now for something completely different! Contemporary Romance one month and Philosophy the next! We're not called the #EclecticReaders for nothing 😉
