I'm reading The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce (Delphi edition) on my tablet.

Just finished Legendborn as well.

The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin is also what I'm reading (second book in the trilogy of The Three-Body Problem)

In terms of non-fiction:

Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism (2nd Edition) by Otto Wille Kuusinen (highly recommended!)

Class, Race and Black Liberation by Henry Winston (also highly recommmend! ...Though not before reading the prequel to the book Strategy for a Black Agenda)

Discussion questions:

What new books are you reading?

Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?

Question of the week:

What books are you eager to read that you haven't read yet?

Enjoy!

I've been in the leftist camp for the last few years now, but just recently self identifying as an ML, but probably agreeing with the general idea without realising it.

My mother who grew up in Soviet Crimea just recently gifted me a copy of the Manifesto, so I'll be reading that soon. I'd really appreciate a list of some recommended works. Also if you have any suggestions for some books in the perspective of a historical account like The Jakarta Method, that really resonated with me.

Thank you!

I hand-picked these from a lot of choices.

If you can read through all of these, you won't be a "baby" leftist anymore.

I really appreciate the effort, comrade 🫡

I'll get these on my list for sure.

Very eager and excited to further my ~~indoctrination~~ education!
