I lasted about 15 pages but that's mostly because I was tired and spacey rather than struggling to read it.

Back on the Foucault. I don't really understand why this is supposed to be hard to read? I guess I've tried to read "Archaeology of Knowledge" before and remember struggling a bit, but "Discipline and Punish" seems... fine? Maybe it gets harder later?

Foucault is really quite readable, certainly compared with Derrida.

I've never even attempted Derrida and TBH I'm not sure I'm ever going to. So far I've just let
@drossbucket do the work for me and copied her notes.

I've barely done the work myself! I read about 5 pages of Of Grammatology at a time, and then my eyes slide off and I go back to secondary sources. Hoping you're going to do the work of reading Foucault for me though!

I need to be better at translating my reading into writing again. I was doing very well for a while but that's lapsed

I take rough notes on much of my research reading, usually boiling down to “this was not very good because X”. Have recently started wondering whether to put these online, somewhat in the spirit of publishing null results.

I'd definitely like to read them - the ones you've emailed have been good! I'm really inconsistent. Sometimes I write lots, sometimes nothing - there's no system. The newsletter is good for ensuring that some stuff gets written up at least.

I’ve been forcing myself to be more consistent than every before, certainly than since my phd, because so much is relevant from so many disparate fields. and I can’t keep even the gist in my head anymore.

Most authors are alive and my notes are often mostly THIS CAN’T WORK and GET TO THE POINT DUDE and EPICALLY BEEF-BRAINED ANALYSIS and such. Which is probably what would be most useful to readers but I don’t want to upset authors, nor argue with them. So I guess better not.

I've generally stopped reading by the time I start feeling this way
