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
Not even sure where to start theory wise, I just feel mostly uninformed. I’ve read a couple of the Lenin essays that are suggested on here and some Mao stuff before but felt a little out of my depth tbh
Culture series is super good, I have read them all but I’m due for a reread
The Trueanon subreddit has a very long reading list that they put together awhile ago in their wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/wiki/index/books/ . You will probably find something interesting in there.
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.
o yeah just got the Jakarta method, I need to pick blackshirts and red up, I have it but haven’t cracked it open
You can go to c/Marxism and browse through the suggested bookstores for book titles that sound interesting
