Why would you say you’ve found Inventing Reality had to stay engaged with?

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably because some of Michael Parenti's works pale in comparison to his speeches and talks.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He does set extremely high expectations with his talks.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. His books are secondary in quality.

Oof, I'm not sure I'd put it like that.

I think it's mostly just with life stuff happening right now it's hard for me to focus on reading as much as I'd like, let alone just find the time to read. It's also not quite as easy of a read as Blackshirts was. I don't think it's a bad book at all.
