I've been rereading Lies My Teacher Told Me by Loewen for like 2 months now. Almost done, it's been dragging and I'm avoiding it because he keeps showing his anti-communist
and turning me off. I'm on the last two chapters now which are more meta than history, but that just made it worse because occasionally he'll flat-out praise capitalism.🤢 It's still a good intro to demythologizing US History, but I really wanna just read something else. I just hate leaving books unread, even if I've read them before. I've got a bunch of other interesting books to read like Perelman's Invention of Capitalism,Tottle's Fraud, Famine, and Fascism, and Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, but I think I might just pick up some paranormal romance slop as a palate cleanser first. I need to get myself back into wanting to read.
Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed is what I intend to read.
