Great job, comrade! Really shows the value in what reading threads can bring.

If only the Capital reading threads weren't basically me talking about my own reading of Capital by myself, haha... seems everyone else dropped it

I am still reading and waiting for comments, and I intend to write some thoughts down after some reflection, but Capital volume 2 is hard, comrade.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Great! I genuinely thought I was the only one still reading, haha. And I agree, I started taking notes for Volume 2 and I am now behind about a week, on chapter 4 and trying to read a chapter a day to catch up. It's like Chapter 1-3 of Volume 1, but for seemingly every chapter, haha.

Awww :( I'm sorry. I want to read Capital myself but given how dense it is I'd need to be very committed before I start on it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

No worries! Seems others actually are reading it, haha. Not just me speaking into the void. And yea, it:s pretty dense, but the first 3 chapters are the hardest. After that, it's pretty smooth sailing! Just for when you feel up for it.

I know I should pick that book up again and keep reading but life keeps getting in the way. I've turned to more digestible writings, just finishing up State and Revolution, and would be done, but I'm currently negotiating with a 2yo about nap time. (This is why I haven't finished capital 😅). The pings keep it in the front of my mental list though, so they're not wasted!

S&R is one of my favs, for sure! We all have different paces and responsibilities, definitely understand!
