Good Sunday Afternoon! What a week for reading, or lack thereof! Early last week, I mentioned that I’ve resumed my “Marx Reading Challenge.” As I also mentioned, it is the final book of the challenge with me reading Capital Volume III. Throughout the course of last week, I managed to get through around 150 pages [...]

Over the weekend, I managed to complete my reading of two Janet Evanovich books, Four To Score and High Five, as part of an agreement with my sister. I will post my thoughts on each of those books in the upcoming days. With those books completed, and with me still waiting for my brother to [...]

What a scorcher of a month this month of July has been! You would think with how hot it’s been, that I would’ve gotten quite a bit more reading accomplished, since I needed to stay inside a good chunk of the month. Nope, didn’t happen for whatever reason. In July, I managed to get a [...]

Phew! Finally is the first word that comes to mind as I begin writing this post. I can’t believe that I finally completed the second volume of Karl Marx’s Capital. From the get go, I must say, Capital Volume II must be one of the most difficult books I’ve ever read, and that’s including some [...]

This evening I find myself through, what seems to be the longest chapter of my Marx Reading Challenge ever, Chapter 15: Effect of Circulation Time on the Magnitude of the Capital Advanced. I say this chapter felt like the longest, even though it was just short of being 40 pages long. This particular chapter just [...]

With the Caps losing game three this evening down in Tampa, I have officially come to the realization that my favorite hockey club’s season is more than likely over. With that being said, I will now have much more time to devote to my reading and to writing more posts on the blog, which have [...]

What a rather interesting April it was! I feel like I didn’t get a heck of a lot accomplished, either with reading or posting on the blog. It was quite a hectic April, all things being considered, more so than I expected. This month, it is my hope to get back on track with daily [...]

Happy Easter everyone! This Easter Sunday I find myself wrought with distractions from my reading, in particular the Stanley Cup Playoffs. More specifically, the Capitals first round series against the Rangers, which concluded yesterday with a Capitals series victory. While I had the games as a distraction from reading, I did manage to get a [...]

I’ve managed to complete my reading of the first part of Karl Marx’s Capital Volume II. I’m finding this volume of Marx’s work to be much more detailed, and much more in the weeds theoretically speaking. Part I covered the Metamorphoses of Capital and their Circuit.
