Over Easy posted:1876 and Burr by the immaculate Gore Vidal (and from the excellent American Empire series) are CSPAMMY as all hell. The founding fathers are largely inept, the rich are venal perverts. The words are clever and history comes alive. Both feature stables of double entendre. I'd like to learn specifically about Burr if anyone has any recs. He seems like a real lol nothing matters kinda guy and I'd rather see a play about him than Hamilton BURR *bang* Yossarian-22 has issued a correction as of 07:59 on Dec 22, 2017 |

I'm reading Lolita. idk if this was meant for a post-Weinstein world as it's basically the ramblings of a pathological self-justifying pedo and it makes me feel really loving uncomfortable

whomupclicklike posted:I'm halfway through Fire and Fury now. It's certainly a fun read but I often find myself questioning whether something is accurate or not. It's more like enjoying a scathing piss take than reading a well-researched, reliable narrative. you know a take is a piss take without the pisstape

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 just finished reading the age of revolution/capital/empire trilogy by hobsbawm and i feel simultaneously all galaxybrained and exhausted on 19th century history now. it's amazingly comprehensive, and my only qualm with it was that it didn't contain nearly enough information about africa. the amount that he weaves in art movements, science, and classical music with political developments is kind of loving incredible
