Pensees
Blaise PascalChris HayesFor the book I’m writing I’ve been reading Blaise Pascal’s “Pensées,” which I think I’d never gotten to before, and it’s so good! Oscillates between dated and shockingly contemporary, but there are genuine profound insights on just about every page.

Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life
Barbara J. FieldsChris HayesI feel strongly that a lot of the current discourse about race and politics would strongly benefit from everyone reading 1) The Sum of Us by @hmcghee 2) Racecraft by Karen and Barbara Fields If you haven't read them, I highly highly recommend checking them out.

Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism
Jeffrey ToobinChris HayesListening to the excellent @JeffreyToobin book on McVeigh and there's a part where McVeigh gets very into right-wing short wave radio and when Toobin describes the topics and rhetoric it sounds like a verbatim description of Tucker right down to the UFOs.

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis
J. D. VanceChris HayesOne weird thing about all this is that Hillbilly Elegy - which I actually quite liked as a book - is deeply reactionary and basically makes the case - sometimes explicitly sometimes implicitly - that the people Vance grew up with are indolent and left behind for a reason. https://t.co/vI1YrBTBrq
