Len started reading Clojure for the Brave and True by Daniel Higginbotham
Started reading because I'l try to write a frontend part of decoupled Drupal in clojure. It might be a lot to read since we're also reading SICP collectively at local programming bookclub.
Len reviewed Rokopis iz Zaragoze by Jan Potocki
A realy nice trip
I first read the Slovenian translation which was published in 1984 and only consists of first 14 days of Alphonse's days in Alpuhara mountains. But I was so enticed by it, that I ordered online the full version in English, which consists of 66 days and is more than 600 pages long. I enjoyed all the stories within stories within stories and twists of which the novel is full of. The Jewish Cabal and other types of mysticism made the reading a mysterious and adventurous experience. I'm still puzzled by all the connections of gypsy chief stories. I'd need a map of relations and if you by chance know one, please forward it to me. Velasquez wrote one but sadly it is not published in the book :) I highly recommend this book.
Len commented on Bifurcate by Bernard Stiegler
Read through the first chapter. It seems all over the place to me. I just can't see how economics/economy could be based on Newtnian physics ... Why technology would be preventing parents to raise their kids. I hope it gets more coherent and easier to understand later on.

@Kitajc@toot.si to ze, ampak kako sledim tebi? Ti bom poskusal sledit s federiranih platform, ki jih uporabljam (mastodon, pixelfed, bookwyrm), da vidim, kako bo to delovalo.
Dvomim, da obstaja app za Nokio 8210, ki jo uporabljam ;)
Len finished reading Palestine Laboratory by Antony Loewenstein
It's hard to believe but it looks like there are no oppressive and human rights violating regimes after ww2 Izrael's military industry would not have business with and support them with their repressive endeavors. Loewenstein shows how occupation is also good for business since its products are tested on humans, but also sheds light on attempts by human rights activists and lawyers to disclose the usage of surveillance tools and international military deals, which are censored by the Israeli state.
