What did you or are you planning on reading?

I was very bad at reading books this year, so I'm going to make a better habit of it this year. Here is my short list so far for 2024:

The Eye of the Master
Palo Alto
The Long 20th Century (and maybe Adam Smith in Beijing?)
Socialist States and the Environment
The Capital Order
Collapse of Antiquity
(maybe I'll finish) Vol 1 of Wallersteins The Modern World-System, but probably not
reread Capital vol 1
Intelligence and Spirit
XYZT

Also:

one of Ilyenkovs books?
something about or by Hegel. I've only read the introduction to the philosophy of history
one of Losurdos books
Maybe the Grundrisse instead of capital vol 1
Marx's Inferno
Bataille's book on prehistoric art

Pls share what you have or plan to read so I can get some recommendations! I posted in c/theory but fiction is welcome too.

107 books? Holy shit.

Some good recommendations here! I forgot about Saitos book, it looked interesting.

Do you so most of your reading electronically or physically?

About half and half I think. I prefer physical book, but the library sadly doesn't have everything.
