Omg I love this thread it’s so nice and interesting to see what y’all are reading 
I’m currently rereading The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch: Volume Two. It’s a good book and I’m excited to get to the part where the protagonist finds himself involved in the counter-culture of the ’60s, but its so so so long. Wish me luck, though I won’t get much done this week bc I have to study and read 100+ pages of my AP U.S. History textbook for the next three days

No, it’s just our teacher makes us do the reading for the next Unit literally right after we have taken the previous Unit’s exam and then BAM! he gives us a reading check quiz. And since there are 3 chapters in a Unit and each chapter of our textbook is like 25+ pages long, it takes forever to read. 
APUSH is a really difficult class, and the only good news is that we don’t have to take a final because our final is technically the AP test which is also really hard but I do well I get college credit so I guess that’s also a plus lol

Offline Oh weird… I’m in APUSH too but I’ve never had to read 100 pages at once… to be fair we do have to read like 10 pages each night but it’s not that bad. Also, what?!??!? You don’t have to take a first-semester final?????? I’m quite jealous. Not only do we have to take a winter final, we have to take one in the spring, but *extra early* so it’s before the AP test. If it weren’t an interesting class I’d be rather upset.

Offline Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman’s ‘Manufacturing Consent’ just arrived in the post for me, and I’m itching to get into it again (I had started reading it once before). I feel like it will be even more relevant given how much the UK and US mass media are manufacturing consent for the political establishment right now..

Offline I don’t have a lot of time on my hands at the moment, but I’ve recently checked out a huge poetry anthology from my school’s library (I’m fairly sure that I’m the only one at my school who actually reads poetry in their free time, but what can I say, I’m geeky
). I’m hoping to read some of it over winter break, as I’m too caught up with school assignments at the moment.

For AP Language and Composition, I started reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, and I’m actually really excited to read it over the break. I mean, annotating it will be a drag, but it’s about a real-life true crime story which sounds pretty cool.
Also, the cover kind of reminds me of the cover of Imagine :

Offline Just bought Slavoj Žižek’s Violence, which I’m looking forward to getting into. It’s the first book of his I’ve bought, but I’ve enjoyed watching his speeches on youtube for a while. One of the most consistently entertaining and challenging figures on the academic left, to be sure.
I also bought Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism and James Joyce’s Dubliners, since I thought it was probably time to get around to reading some Joyce.

Just started Holy George-Warren’s new Janis Joplin bio…
…but I’m gonna have to set it aside for a few days, because my aunt just loaned me her orginal copy of “Spaniard In the Works”! (And “Skywriting By Word of Mouth.”) It was originally a Christmas gift from my great-grandmother; and the notion of someone born in the 1800s BUYING BEATLES STUFF is kinda blowing my mind…

I kind of like it though. 
I’ve had to read some extremely disturbing books for school lately (including a book about how someone’s insane father faked a nuclear holocaust to see how far his family would go to survive), but “I Am The Cheese” is probably the strangest book I’ve had to read for school so far.
