I’ve just kinda plowed through things that were theory related. It would have been helpful if I had taken the time to make a list of vocabulary, terms, and proper nouns to do some extra reading on (or to pay attention to as I worked through the text).

I keep meaning to look around for reading lists of theory/history that are organized more like a syllabus. Hopefully with a beginner, intermediate, and … uh… whatever would come after intermediate… order to the texts suggested.

So far its kinda been a bit of a hangup for me that I’ll think something is kinda important in the text, but there is no background or context given as its just been mentioned as if everybody should already know about this and it doesn’t need explaining. (lookin at you “Essential Works of Lenin”)
