Recently finished The Iron Heel by Jack London. It's fascinating to read a 100+ year old fiction novel and still feel like its relevant and even predictive. But then you realize class struggle has been going on for a long time and the critiques from last century still apply today, there's just different technology. Worth the read even if its more dialogue than plot.

Also read Che, My Brother which is a fascinating insight into how Che became a Cuban revolutionary and his legacy after his death told by his brother, Juan Martin. I learned a lot of little details about his life growing up in Argentina, his eccentric parents, and how Che was able to inspire even his own family to join the fight. Great book.
