This was basically a test to see if I can catalogue zines on here and keep them sorta separate from my "book reading"... I think it's gonna work! I made a separate shelf called "zines" and am gonna add reviews, info, and maybe even links to pdfs. Shoulda set this up when I did my zine-a-day fun-a-day....

Beautiful and thoughtful zine about colonialism and the american project, wrapping together struggles of the past and present with a sprinkle of David Wojnarowicz, duh I loved it

I'm normally really unmotivated to read in French (and I'm sure I missed a lot of nuance cause I kinda suck at it) but this was pretty up my alley and I chomped it up. If you love being punished by gen x dudes about the hardcore punk scene in the 90s and why corporate social media is problématique, this book is for you!! But actually, cool initiative and beautiful book, its cool to learn about how people are wrestling with and talking about the same things that my friends and I are (how punks relate to politics, capitalism, technological alienation, etc) in different places and contexts in the last few years.

@realityasylumreads I thought it was good but not mind blowing, like super well-crafted and vibey but nothing to really sink my teeth into. I read the memory police a few years ago and really liked it. You read this recently ya? What'd you think?

@astralstreeting I think you could read any of them without reading the others, they're not too dependent on each other overall. The sixth one is quite different from the others though, it's a lot more meta and covers his process of writing the books and fallout with various family and then he just sorta goes off the rails and talks about writing and philosophy and Hitler for a few hundred pages, I lost steam around then. So I switched to audiobook and listened while working the xmas rush to power through it... I was pretty determined to finish. But I didn't enjoy this one. Truly my struggle lol.
The End, the sixth and final book, reflects back on the personal fallout from the earlier volumes, with Knausgaard facing …
@Carnivalesque yeah, I was also a bit intimidated. Its definitely intense but very readable!
