hi fatehbaz, do you have a tag for recommended books? i remember seeing a few posts with your top picks from various subjects but now cannot find them

hello. sorry, i don't really tag things. but i've put together several compilation posts for reading recommendations involving imperial ecology; environmental history of colonization; ruins, haunting, and eerie/uncanny ecology; human-landscape relationships; relationships with other-than-human creatures; decolonizing environments; and my favorite authors; etc.

here's a compilation post which includes links to original stuff i've written about these topics and also a list of my favorite scholars/writers with info about their focus/specialties.

i've said this before, but i spend much more time reading essays and articles than i do reading full-length books. that linked compilation post lists some of my favorite "essential" writers:

Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert; Elizabeth DeLoughrey; Anna Tsing; Paulo Tavares; Anna Boswell; Achille Mbembe; Hugo Reinert; Frantz Fanon; Tim Edensor; Robin Wall Kimmerer; Ann Laura Stoler; Kyle Whyte; Audra Simpson; Kathryn Yusoff; Ikyo Day; Pedro Neves Marques

here's a compilation post which includes links to short excerpts (in the form of tunglr-dot-com posts) from all of these authors.

if those essays and articles aren't what you're into, and you'd rather have long-form books, then here are the two posts about my "favorite books" which you might've been thinking of: round 1 and round 2.

and here's a look at the books that i mention:

father's story

just them chilling and listening to kratos telling storys from his homeland

when kratos holds up mimir so he can see the drama better

the guy of war ever!!

Chilchuck dungeon meshi

I just watched a kid break down in the bookstore because his books for the semester totaled $600 and that’s the american university system in a nutshell

Free PDFs of The Journey to the West

I have updated my blog with better PDFs of the 2012 revised edition of The Journey to the West. The four volume series was translated and heavily annotated by Prof. Anthony C. Yu (1938–2015). This is considered THE most accurate English translation of the tale to date.
