Just finished "The Devil's Chessboard." The book really goes out of its way to shower JFK with praise, but it's quite informative with regards to how the security apparatus took a central executive position in US government. I'm pretty convinced at this point that Kennedy was killed by an op spearheaded by Allen Dulles

Since finishing the book, I've started reading Marx's Capital. I didn't expect to read the phrase "One coat equals twenty yards of linen" over 50 times, but here we are. The book got much more engaging once it started laying out what "capital" is and how it differs from an equal exchange of commodities.
