As for me, I’m working on “Birnam Wood” by Eleanor Catton. i’m having a slow time getting into it, but i’ve heard it’s good. likely won’t get it finished in the next week as tomorrow i’m off to a zen retreat for a week, but it’ll be waiting for me when I get back.

i’ve got a couple things specifically relating to veganism on order from my local library: “Veganism: Politics, Practice, and Theory” by Eva Haifa Giraud, and “The Vegan Studies Project: Food, Animals, and Gender in the Age of Terror” by Laura Wright.

i’m no academic but i am a nerd, and am hoping that these so-called foundational texts in vegan studies will help me have a better theoretical and actionable framework within which to work. speaking of which, i also have on order “Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism” by Mark Hawthorne. this one i have purchased so that i can have it as a reference for actual praxis.

have any of you read any of these and have any thoughts, or recommendations?

Thanks so much for posting this again. I’ve been checked out due to a massive work project that I completed yesterday and just have another day of fallout until I can finally be a human again. It has been 3 weeks of a sprint at work.

I started Player of Games and its great. I haven’t read a culture book in a long time.

Thanks for the recommendation on the Giraud, that one looks interesting. I hope to post about it soon!
