Hello!

Cowbee and I wanted to read some of the books on Comrade’s Library, and we ended up deciding to make a reading group for anybody else that might be interested. We are looking at This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong as the first book. Edit: I was just informed that there is an audiobook by dessalines.

I wasn't thinking of having the group read that book. The library isn't a reading list, it's my project making EPUBs

    My bad for misunderstanding the idea then. Sorry.

    We'll probably read more books from ComLib, especially if this initial book is successful. We probably won't be reading every book on it, however.

    It's starting out quite successfully. I was just imagining a few people, we have 34 participants!

    I figured it'd do well! This Soviet World is a commonly recommended but under-read book, plus Hex hasn't had a reading group in a while. Seems like the right content, right place, and right time! Though we should expect a good many to drop after the first few weeks, as happens with most reading groups (or less comments and more passive participation, which is also good).
