Why not just make it a general "what are you reading and what your thoughts/opinions about it?"

Why add shitty survey crap to it? Why is my name or location relevant to what I'm reading?

Because you lack the experience and maturity to fully comprehend the concepts. Hence, by the time you're mature enough to fully understand what he's saying on a deeper level you will have to reread the book. And you probably won't do that.

Actually, you're right. I've read, Plato, some Aristotle, Hume, and Descartes—that's it. I think I may start fresh with Plato and re-read so I can properly work my way up to modern philosophy. It's just that I'm impatient and I want to learn about politics specifically, but I guess I shouldn't rush.

It cannot be gainsaid that there is an incredibly useful and enlightening effect earned through the dint of introspective inquiry into why you were wrong about meretricious thinking one. It behooves any anon serious about self-improvement to identify ways in which they were wrong in and remedy any strains of logic or thinking that are similarly afield.

Again, I've personally found that gleaning the causes and reasons of my error, more reliably inoculates me against future misunderstanding or misapplications of a concept when compared to slavishly memorizing why somebody was right and little else.
Also, the supercilious insistence that neophytes and journeyman must read in a particularized order, some list of works, is inimical to a community of heterogenetic thought and inquiry. We should hope to encourage multiplicity in the ways in which people are wrong. Others would aim towards an intellectual milieu in which there is no difference in how people think wrongly about things, and when they do, often the divide is banal or of little significance.
