Please take care to read when you are in a good place, it gets dark in places.

Here I wanted my biases against smartphones confirmed, but if anything, his shoddy arguments steered me in the opposite direction.

This book is definately written by someone who wants to get everything out, and for that it rambles in places. Still, the uncompromising life described makes it well worth the read. I hope he's never found.

This book challenged my thinking on things I thought I knew in exciting ways, in spite of my sharing a similiar politics. I've always been hesitant to read Graeber, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

Terrifying.

Probably one of the most detailed primers on these writers I've found. The author spends a lot of time with Malatesta, which I can't fault her for and actually appreciate. I look foward to the next subject receiving such laser focus.

I just reread this book out loud with my neice (switching off every two pages) after reading it on my own maybe three times before. There are various points that I cried this time. It's timeless in the sense that nothing has really materially gotten better since the lectures and the book in the past 24 years. I don't remember when I first picked this book up but I do believe it is one of the most important books that I have read in my life.

One of the first books I read with my niece over a meeting app. She really enjoyed this as well as the second book in the series.

This book covers in brief most of whats known about a historically overlooked figure of the revolutionary period of Ukraine. It can unfortunately be read in one sitting, but hopefully with the discovery of her diaries some mysteries about an anarchist who did much in such a tragically short life shall be researched further.

A concise biography of an often overlooked figure in the revolutionary period of Ukraine. I defenitely hope that further work will be done once Nikiforova's diaries are researched.
