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.

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).
