"Days and Nights of Love and War by Eduardo Galeano is an absolutely gut wrenching work of art. Composed of fragments of journalism and dreamlike poetry. I don't have the words to properly praise it. I think it's hard for this book not to bring you to tears or at least close to it." — Mar 17, 2025 09:08AM

"I've already watched the movie adaptation (one of my favorite films of all time) so I was very excited when my dad let me borrow his copy for the book it was based on. I love the way that the Strugatskys write the Zone. It feels ethereal and the way it's talked about is very well done. I'm liking it." — Feb 19, 2025 09:03AM

"Anna Louise Strong never disappoints with her journalism. I've been sorely neglecting Laos (largely Viet Nam as well) in terms of reading/knowledge on the country pre and post revolution. Strong starts out at the very beginning of the country coming out of the dissolution of French rule in Indo-China, which I feel is a very good choice in giving context to the rest of the history explained after." — Jan 29, 2025 09:23AM

“Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better.”
