during the holiday season, i like to reread Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber to remind myself that management can suck my loving dick, where the gently caress is my holiday bonus

deep dish peat moss posted:I started The Glass Bead Game by Hesse but I haven't got very far because so far all it has talked about is how everything about The Glass Bead Game is too difficult to explain or be understood. if you haven't, Beneath the Wheel is decent read afterward.

Entorwellian posted:Finished CHAOS by Tom O'Neill. The first one third was on following up with all the inconsistencies of the Manson murders, the second third really hooked me in with explaining how with the conspiracy element linking CIA projects and law-enforcement to protecting Manson on multiple occasions, then the last third hypes up that Manson was an MK-Ultra success story. However, he is unable to make the direct connection from Jolly West to Manson and the book just... kinda drops the entire thing. The author kind of admits defeat and says "this book is all of the progress I was able to make until I ran out of money and time." He does end it by giving the interview he did with Manson himself, but it was mostly just gibberish and didn't really conclude anything except that they both thought Vincent Bugliosi was a huge piece of poo poo. All of the photos at the end of the book were also cool to add-in. Poisoner in Chief might help paint a more complete picture on how Manson was a "success" since it talks a lot more about Sidney Gottlieb's obsession with altered mental states and just how often acid and other drugs were used on ordinary citizens.
