I’m getting in the mood, the reading mood. I’ve grabbed a bite of toast and I’ve had some delicious chocolate mousse yogurt — as I type, the microwave warms the water for my green tea. It’s nirvana. I do all of this in preparation for one of my favorite styles of reading: I’ll read three or so pages from one book, flip to another, and another for about an hour or so. Today, I’ll use this reading style while reading Herbert Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man — I’m in love with this book, Marx’s Capital: Volume I, and Ernst Mandel’s An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory. After I’ve finished my reading procedure I’ll probably move on to reading Zizek’s notes on the events in France.
