I will read anything published by Fitzcarraldo at this point. They never miss. They’re so good at picking up interesting narratives told in surprising ways. And often by writers who just aren’t in the limelight (for better or worse).

New subscribers here, nice one!

Chris, mate, you should try to do more. I really appreciate your videos but lately, not enough 😀 All the very best for 2024.

Been reading a lot of different History and Political and Philosophy books this, year still have loads to get through next year, but also been reading some Biographies - read a great book about historical debt jubilees " Forgive Them Their Debts" by the great Economist Michael Hudson, and The Greek Way by Edith Hamilton and The Song of Achilles was a great book.

Once again seems we are pretty aligned in our tastes, I loved the feminist Killjoy, as well as Ordinary Notes and Diego Garcia, I was busy working my way through some back catalogues this year so didn't read too many other new releases, also I am firmly still in a non-fiction phase... have you read Cruel Optimism by Lauren Berlant, or Olivia Laing's Everybody? Those were 5 stars for me, and again Terrance Hayes continues to dazzle me. Not a big tv watcher, more a youtube video essay enthusiast tbh. I read non-fiction by Julie Myerson on your recommend maybe early in the year and loved it. Also love if books could kill, truly hilarious.
