Here's what I'm reading:
I'm going to stop reading A Dance with Dragons and the two Star Wars books for now and wrap up Empire, Incorporated and Determined while I continue on with Das Kapital.
Bonus question:
What do you PLAN to read later on?
Enjoy!
I'm finishing Ten Days that Shook the World by Jack Reed, and Moby Dick. Once I'm done with Ten Days I might pick up The German Ideology (since I've only read the first few chapters,) 18th Brumere of LB or E&P Manuscripts of 1844 if I feel like diving into some Marx. I'm more familiar with his economic stuff and want to get into his philosophical works since I finished Spinoza's Ethics.
I also need to read Settlers so I might take another whack at it. Or maybe Black Jacobins by CLR James.
Not sure what I'll read after Moby Dick in the way of fiction, maybe the last Joe Abercrombie book which I really need to read and have been procrastinating on. Or maybe one of the Philip K Dick books in my stack; I love PKD but he is pretty bleak so it's kinda dependent on where my MH is at when I get there.
I wouldn't do "required reading" if I were you. I think that both Settlers and Black Jacobins have been done better by this point in the 21st century.
Hell, I finished Settlers and it's not that good.
