Welcome to Litsy!

Took a few goes to get through and brought up a lot of interesting theory, linked to movies and media, and approaching some Christian concepts from a different angle.

Currently reading this !!

Sometimes I read angsty YA fiction, other times I read controversial philosophy, I‘m multifaceted. My girlfriend is in love with Žižek and will quote him on the daily, she wore me down and convinced me to give him a try, I‘m glad I did. His point of view is pretty radical but his explanation of how he got there is understandable, I‘m a convert.

My absolute favorite thing about used books! 😍 #markeduppages #usedbooks #tellmeyourthoughts #ilikeyourbrain

Today‘s finds. Still feeling a little pain from dental surgery so I decided I needed a pick me up and couldn‘t resist getting this cute edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray even though I already have another version. But who can blame me? Look how cute! It also features an introduction and timeline of Oscar‘s life and works. It‘s very portable, cloth-bound with elastic strap (which can serve as page holder) and looks like a planner, lol.

Reading this really pushed my thoughts to some interesting places. Posing questions such as: to what extent are Britain and the US complicit in the actions of Russia by supporting their economy through trade? Nadya and Slavoj both offer interesting perspectives on the mechanisms of modern capitalism and the state of freedom today. #pussyriot #humanrights #philosophy #marxism #anarchy #russia #zizek #capitalism #politics #freedom

Finally getting through my haul from Hay festival, with a cuppa ofc. Also, I love my coaster from a lucky dip box from Fable and Black on Etsy #pussyriot #zizek #comrade #marxist #philosphy
