Rules:

  1. Books from all tendencies are allowed. Please don’t downvote something just because it’s from somebody that you dislike.
  2. However, the general rule against sectarianism still applies here. A writing that takes a potshot at others every now and then is acceptable. Outright polemics dedicated to denouncing other tendencies belong elsewhere.
  3. No linking to online book stores.
  4. No memes or videos.

Someone I know has trouble reading stuff in their free time that isn’t romantic fiction. They couldn’t make it through Capital the manga. All I could think of for recommendations is ‘the revolt of the angels.’

I couldn’t find a synopsis of witbd so thanks. I’m going to read that soon. A while ago i was listening to a podcast about how reading capital in DSA or whatever org isn’t great because it makes everyone hate it, whereas back in the day it wasn’t Marx, but Chernyshevsky that everyone had read.

I have a physical copy of Babel, but have yet to read it.
