I’m reading The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce (Delphi edition) on my tablet.

Just finished Legendborn as well.

The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin is also what I’m reading (second book in the trilogy of The Three-Body Problem)

In terms of non-fiction:

Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism (2nd Edition) by Otto Wille Kuusinen (highly recommended!)

Class, Race and Black Liberation by Henry Winston (also highly recommmend! …Though not before reading the prequel to the book Strategy for a Black Agenda)

Discussion questions:

What new books are you reading?

Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?

Question of the week:

What books are you eager to read that you haven’t read yet?

Enjoy!

    Finished reading Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism, now I’m reading Imperialism in the 21st century to get a better understanding. After this book I’ll probably re-read Imperialism and State and Revolution, I think I wasn’t focused enough the first time.

      I would recommend Materialism and Imperio-criticism by Vladimir Lenin.

      Really teaches one how to think, how to use logic. And that is priceless, imho.

        Thank you for your recommendation, I do need to brush up on my dialectical thinking skills a bit.

        At this rate my reading list will itself become a huge book, no idea how will I ever finish it all!

          Highly recommend on contradiction by Mao for dialectics.

          Me exactly.

          I read Imperialism last summer. It was very easy to follow, but I didn’t understand all the relevance at the time. I love how he dunks on Kautsky. I need to read some more recent theory on imperialism.
