That sounds so nice! You must be so happy. :)

Wow those are beautiful!

Welcome!

I love Korean food. We will have to discuss cooking sometime!

It was definitely an interesting read and I didn’t actually know about this one. I thought I had all of Lenin’s works but somehow this one slipped unnoticed.

I’m looking forward to this reading group going forward especially since I can find books I may not have read yet or heard of. I don’t have too much to say about it that hasn’t already been said but I’m certainly looking forward to the group and reading more in the future. :)

It would be very difficult but if all the chips fall into place I do like the idea of having kids someday. ^^

Happy birthday! Hope you have a nice day. :)

Got a copy. Thanks for the recommendation!

I will definitely let you know if I have any questions! I’ve been going through everything whenever I get the time. I’ve never heard of Yandex before actually but I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks again!

Very interesting read, thanks!

This has been very useful. Thank you for the resource.

Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you for such a well made breakdown of events.

Hello!

That’s great I was looking for a book just like “10 Days that Shook the World”, thank you for the recommendation! I have heard of the Jakarta Method in passing but have not actually added it to my reading list yet. After highlighting it’s importance I will definitely give it a go.

Haha yes that does sound like Marx. I sometimes find myself rereading the same page just to decipher it ^^

Thank you for all the recommendations, always appreciated. Definitely adding all of those to the list.

Thank you!

I will defend beans on toast until the day I die. It’s really not that bad. ^^

Hello and thank you! I definitely will.

Hello!

It seems we had a similar beginning then. My education was much the same, it drove me to learn more myself and I ended up learning a lot more that way.

It is very interesting! It’s a bit like seeing all the pieces of a puzzle and how they interact with each other like a chain reaction. I will definitely take a look at some of the events you mentioned because I am actually not familiar with all of those, particularly the happenings in Indonesia.

On the first world war I would highly recommend ‘Passchendaele: Requiem for Doomed Youth’ by Paul Ham. I have not read it in awhile but I do remember I did enjoy reading it. It’s very detailed.

Otherwise The Great War channel has a series with Indiana Neidell where they go through each event of the first world war. I remember I enjoyed that too however in some other related shows they have been pretty anti-communist. I can’t remember if that series in particular has the same stance but just keep that in mind if you decide to give it a go.

Thank you! ^^

Thank you! ^^

Ah yes I am familiar with Blackshirts and Reds, but I’ve never heard of Blood in my Eye before. I’ll definitely add it to the list, thank you for the recommendation. 😄

I’ve heard of Blowback! It’s really well done. I’ve watched a few seasons but I haven’t gotten through everything yet. I think the season about Korea was my favorite. It’s really well made.

Thank you for the recommendations, always appreciated!

Hello!

Thank you!

My favourite dish to make would probably be Gyeran jjim. ( Korean Steamed Eggs ) It’s quick and easy and watching the egg rise super high is always exciting to watch! I like to add a little bit of soy sauce for some extra flavour, but not too much. `^^
