Update, my 10 favorite books of 2020

Because I've been away from home, I haven't had a chance to record the audio for my next video (about my 10 favorite books I read in 2020). Sorry about that.
I attached the video script for the video on this post, so that my patrons can see what I have to say about the books before the video comes out.
On our Google Drive, I uploaded every book from the list (with the exception of the ones by Jonas Mekas and Nancy S. Love which I couldn't find online copies of). So you've got easy access to most of these books if any of them interest you:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rasWDAFyI4t1EOSePbeLc0LbMKf10rHN?usp=sharing

The list is:
1. Margaret A. Rose - Marx's Lost Aesthetic
2. Friedrich Nietzsche - Ecce Homo
3. Julian Young - Friedrich Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography
4. Friedrich Nietzsche - The Gay Science
5. Bertell Ollman - Dance of the Dialectic
6. Walter Benjamin - The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
7. Fredric Jameson - Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism
8. Jonas Mekas - I Had Nowhere to Go
9. Nancy S. Love - Marx, Nietzsche & Modernity
10. Henri Lefebvre - Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche

Yes, as you can see I had to read a lot about Marx & Nietzsche for my book last year.

Hope you enjoy! Welcome to all of my new patrons and thank you for your support. I couldn't do this without you.

Good list. The Marx aesthetic book was unexpected, but sounds interesting. Oh and there are some people in your Discord thinking of doing a reading group for the "Dance of the Dialectic" after the Weber reading is done ๐Ÿ‘

Echoes from Elsewhere

Hey Grant. That book looks horrible. Iโ€™m not sure how well read you are, but Iโ€™d recommend you check out some of the primary sources and secondary expository sources for post-structuralism if you havenโ€™t. Cuck mentions many in his previous videos. One of my favorite secondary source authors for post-structuralism is Todd May. As for Derrida, Peter Salmon just published an intellectual biography on Derrida that looks fascinating. I havenโ€™t read it myself but Iโ€™ve seen some of Salmonโ€™s videos on YT and he knows his stuff. Hope this helps.
