Welcome to Litsy!

Feeling proud of myself 🤓 Revisited this after 5 years. (It was one of the 1st books I ever logged here!) My first go-around was extremely challenging & most of Davis‘s analysis went over my head. But since then I have learned a lot about Marxism & the labor movement, & I‘m happy to report that I was able to follow the argument this time around! Can confirm it is a work of true genius 🤯

April's #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin ☺️

One of the most damnable features of our common life is the way we talk about poverty, as if it‘s an anomaly and not a feature of our economic system.

A well-researched book on the narcotics trade, covering everything from production in South America to trafficking through Central America and consumption in the U.S. and Europe. The author clearly explains the economics of the trade, why current control methods are failing, and explores better strategies for mitigation. It‘s an engaging, insightful, and accessible read.

My #Roll100 book choices for April. This year's sociopolitical theme is providing a very informative yet steep learning curve. Which is exactly what I needed.

What‘s happening now all falls under the Neoliberalism play book doused with fascism. We‘ve been heading in this direction for decades. The Cheeto just put it into overdrive. #Thewholethingithinkitssick

It's OK to be angry about capitalism? Phew! Thank fuck for that! 😅

I got this from the library as much to validate the decision of whichever librarian it was who decided to order this in as I did to actually read it. I wasn't sure that I would read it as, a) it's about five years old and things have moved on (in a hell-in-a-handcart way) and, b) Bernie's preaching to the converted with me. But, I read the first few pages and think I'll continue.

Will be focusing more on King once I finish Murder on the Links for #ChristieCapers. Starting Star of the Seafor #BookedinTime, hoping the audio is good. Meet Cute Diary is for #TransRightsReadathon. That and my buddy reads will take up my reading time.

This is a journalistic approach into the world of the wealthy, capitalism, and the ways the ultra wealthy evade paying taxes. I enjoyed the start of this but did get a little lost along the way. I still feel I learned quite a bit though. One thing that irked me is the author is female but the narrator for the audio was male.

My #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin reads for March 2025 😄
