Fiction or Non-Fiction, academic or casual, theory or non-theory, feel free to mention books of any genre and on any topic.
Finally finished Blackshirts & Reds, phenomenal book and will be my no.1 recommendation to people that are leaning to Marxism but aren't there yet. Moving back to Lenin's Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism, going to be taking my time with each chapter to really memorize and understand what he is trying to say.
Reading articles on the link between homelessness or debt and mental illness.

Dennis King — Lyndon LaRouche and the New American Fascism [1989-04-24]
Doubleday | 1st ed. | ISBN 0385238800 | 415 pages
Examines the ideology of Lyndon LaRouche, the followers who believe in him, and his political activities
Going over this again & finding tons of shit I missed before, making write-up of it. Want to do Sankara one first tho & I'm not done with one of the remaining books
A bit over a 100 pages into capital vol 2 now. Just like in Vol 1 he often goes into long step by step explanations instead of getting to the point, except it's worse here, because you're on a circulation merry-go-round. It's not too bad though, reading it is mostly just trying to spot when he is saying something new and when he is repeating himself/overexplaining.
The reason for the circling explanations is to help the reader understand the many dialectical relationships, in proper context.
Reading David Harvey’s companion to capital book piece wise as I move through Capital is helping me quite a bit, that might help for your case as well.
Just finished Unequal Exchange by Torkil Lauesen. Can't recommend enough.
Fiction book, Beasts of Carnaval by Rosalia Rodrigo. It deals in themes of slavery and colonialism. The ending is a bit lib, IMO. But I think it's a good book to read overall, up the alley of the sort of people who hang out on lemmygrad. Skillful prose and an interesting narrative that stretches beyond typical twists and turns.
For all books - fiction and non-fiction.
