doin' the haskell thang again :3

was alright. due to file naming i didn't notice for most of it that i was listening to it in a wrong order. feels a little fitting given Nash's schizophrenia and how disorienting the listening experience was.

Audiobook. Back to my "biographies of mathematicians" project. So far, I don't like John Nash.

wew.

got away from it. am restarting today

Wew, finished! I read this because I thought it would give more insight into Anti-Oedipus. I don't think it really did. It mostly felt like gibberish that wasn't polished in the way that Anti-Oedipus or A Thousand Plateaus were so I didn't really feel like trying a lot of times. It is notes and journal entries and such so I think it is reasonable that it's less polished though.

The main part of the book that I like were Guattari's journal entries talking about his relationships, feelings about Anti-Oedipus, etc.

I'm just glad it's done and that I'm free.

Started today, finished today. Only gripe I have is the frontmatter of the book. I listened to the audiobook and 2 hours of it are frontmatter by other people. That's about 30%!

I really like the book though. More than I expected. The main thing that I wish is that it were longer. Dorian's decline could be more fleshed out.

Good, sad book. Also recommend the movie.

gay cat reads gay books

pretty good i do recommend!

Welp, finally done. ereader told me it took me like 40 days to read, which is surprising. I think it's a brilliant book filled with a lot of different insights when it comes to cybernetic/systemic/ecological thinking.

The main problem I had with the book was that some of it was a serious slog. Like there was so much redundancy in certain parts (3 and 4 specifically), that made it really hard to get through/want to read sometimes.

I am very glad that I did though. At some point in the future I want to read his "Mind and Nature" which is a later work that's shorter and probably more streamlined.

started it cuz i know her youtube channel and see seems cool. also she reads the audiobook.

read it when i was younger and wanted to see if the trilogy held up. first book was okay, the main things I remember are further in.

I don't really like any of the characters in this book and I find the story kind of frustrating. Also, the book is quite a bit longer than I think it had to be.

That being said, it's the story of interrelating lives and I think that's cool. It's always interesting to see how people develop and what forces of stabilization and departure operate on people.

Also, it makes me think of Che's "The Motorcycle Diaries" which is much shorter and also better :3

another shared read with a friend. uzumaki and now this.
