It’s definitely been an interesting two weeks! For the most part, I’ve been off the computer, due to home improvement projects and doing a bit of reading and family stuff. It’s been relaxing to have been offline for a bit, but now I’m back, and hope to be blogging more frequently. As I mentioned two [...]

August Month In Review
As Summer is coming to an end, I hope my reading slump does as well. I was hoping to get much more read with Karl Marx’s third volume of Capital, but other things have distracted me between family and other activities. This week, I’ve managed to read around 200 pages of Capital, which is considerable [...]
While On The Running Trail….
This morning, I continued my training for the Army Ten-Miler by completing a 5 mile run this morning at a trail that circles Burke Lake Park. The heat got to me this morning as I was running, but that’s not what this post is about. While I was running the trail, earlier this morning, I [...]
Marx Revisited
Good Sunday Afternoon! What a week for reading, or lack thereof! Early last week, I mentioned that I’ve resumed my “Marx Reading Challenge.” As I also mentioned, it is the final book of the challenge with me reading Capital Volume III. Throughout the course of last week, I managed to get through around 150 pages [...]
Resumption Of Marx Reading Challenge
Over the weekend, I managed to complete my reading of two Janet Evanovich books, Four To Score and High Five, as part of an agreement with my sister. I will post my thoughts on each of those books in the upcoming days. With those books completed, and with me still waiting for my brother to [...]
Month In Review & A Look Ahead
What a scorcher of a month this month of July has been! You would think with how hot it’s been, that I would’ve gotten quite a bit more reading accomplished, since I needed to stay inside a good chunk of the month. Nope, didn’t happen for whatever reason. In July, I managed to get a [...]
My Thoughts On Capital Volume II
Phew! Finally is the first word that comes to mind as I begin writing this post. I can’t believe that I finally completed the second volume of Karl Marx’s Capital. From the get go, I must say, Capital Volume II must be one of the most difficult books I’ve ever read, and that’s including some [...]
Pushing Through Reading Obstacles
This evening I find myself through, what seems to be the longest chapter of my Marx Reading Challenge ever, Chapter 15: Effect of Circulation Time on the Magnitude of the Capital Advanced. I say this chapter felt like the longest, even though it was just short of being 40 pages long. This particular chapter just [...]
Capital Volume II – A Difficult Part
Have you ever reached a point in a book where you feel it’s so difficult that you feel like hitting your head against the wall? That’s exactly how I’m feeling at this juncture in my reading of Karl Marx’s Capital Volume II. I’m currently on Chapter 15 Effect of Circulation Time on the Magnitude of [...]
Time For Some Catching Up
With the Caps losing game three this evening down in Tampa, I have officially come to the realization that my favorite hockey club’s season is more than likely over. With that being said, I will now have much more time to devote to my reading and to writing more posts on the blog, which have [...]
