Reading American Gods atm and I keep forgetting what happened in the previous chapter

It gets boring midway through and the ending’s a letdown.

Show’s better.

Finished Invisible Man

One of the greatest books I've ever read. The epilogue is a bit peculiar as it more or less coincides with the author's pivot from communism to overt anti-communism, but otherwise I enjoyed it all thoroughly
I remember reading it for university and while I forget a lot I remember it was simply electric among an otherwise drab syllabus. I was inculcated by a slew of modernist texts and thought good books had to be deliberately difficult and boring and it was such a breath of fresh air.

Could anyone recommend a book on attitudes towards homosexuality throughout history? I’m interested in why it was so vociferously condemned in the Bible and post-Rome, but would also like a look at cultural perspectives worldwide.

im working through Corey Robin's The Reactionary Mind and it's pretty good so far.

he does an interesting job of kinda toeing th eline of what I guess what I would call a "fundamental" theory of conservatism with insisting that his perspective is flexible and supplemental rather than really seeking to be a bedrock set of principles.
I like his tear down of Ayn Rand as a psychopathic moron.

The biggest observation I drew from that book was about how reactionaries over time will adopt the language of the oppressed to make their position appear more palatable. I see it all the time now.
