Just finished Why We're Polarized by Ezra Klein. It was an interesting read. Ran through any number of studies and polling data to make some postulations about what is wrong with the American system of government and the patterns by which is arrived here.

I doubt it will be relevant beyond 2022, but it was a good read and puts some "here's why" behind a lot of the things in politics you can see just by experiencing them. So if nothing else it will give you an explaination to the infuriating parts of American life.

I just picked up a first edition hardcover copy of this for $4 and am working my way through it a chapter at a time. A very entertaining book so far and filled with a lot of information on Keith and The Stones. Some of it I already knew about but there's quite a lot in the book that I didn't previously know. I usually give my books away after reading them once but this will probably stay on my shelf for future reference.

I'd buy some Warhammer 40K but that **** is either out of print or hella expensive on the internet. I have a few regular Warhammer books though. Charmingly dunderheaded. Dan Abnett writes some cool comics though. Without him we probably never would have gotten a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

It was recommended to me because I liked Ender's Game. They said "dystopian space politics" and I was sold, but your dunderhead comment has shaken my confidence.

Do you actually know anything about Warhammer? Cause it's the most "unwashed incel" literature out there.

WWWP · 07-31-2020, 03:21 PM

Lmao no, I know nothing about it
