I’ve been out of the habit of reading for the better part of a decade now, I usually read like 1-2 books a year.

I’m looking to ramp it up. What I’ve enjoyed lately was parable of the sower/talents and dawn + the sequels by Octavia Butler.

Additionally I’m like super theory illiterate and history as well.

Looking for:

  • Theory/commentary (including newer stuff)

  • sci fi

  • history

  • collapse/eco/survival stuff

  • mutual aid & organizing

Any recs? Or links to lists of recs? Also open to things outside of what I listed

Currently reading Marx’s ‘Das Kapital’ For Beginners by Michael Wayne which has been pretty approachable. I second the rec for Blackshirts and Reds. Parenti has a smooth style. The Jakarta Method is a must read.

The two of them together pretty much completely reframes the western narrative around the cold war. Well worth the read.
