There are so many books to read but the pseuds tell you to keep reading and reading and reading without any judgement except for what they tell you to do.
I tried to read the last 70 pages of manufacturing consent last night but it was so fucking boring I could only read 20. I would never have read it in the first place because the propaganda model is repackaged common sense. How can these shitloads of "Super insightful praised by NYT, NY, Obama Zuckerberg, FT" non fiction works all be worth reading? Not even Chomsky's (and Herman's) book was worth reading. I knew the book could easily be summarised and the model was unnecessary and trivial and it was a catalogue of medias bias written for the sake of referencing, not reading
Chomsky didn't get to where he was, writing syntactic structures, by reading all day (reading prose books, not reading as a means to an end you pseuds). The behaviour they want from consumercucks is very different from what they praise in producerbulls. I guess if you're a woman you can get away with the "Tee-hee! I just luv boooks :))))!" attitude because someone else pays for your stuff, but get a grip you cucks.
Do you have any books under 250 pages to recommend? I'm sick of how everything is a fucking monument to the authors narcissism, even the nonfiction.

long books doesnt necessarily mean good, but i think long historical works are justified and to call it nothing more than the author's narcicissm is reductionist. How about their own passion in the subject? maybe they hold comprehensiveness as an ideal?

Most "recommended" books made after WWII aren't worth reading to be perfectly honest and all have the exact same framework of mindset. You won't gain any insight whatsoever reading them unless you're trying to study propaganda tactics.
