I've been out of the habit of reading for the better part of a decade now, I usually read like 1-2 books a year.

I'm looking to ramp it up. What I've enjoyed lately was parable of the sower/talents and dawn + the sequels by Octavia Butler.

Additionally I'm like super theory illiterate and history as well.

Looking for:

  • Theory/commentary (including newer stuff)

  • sci fi

  • history

  • collapse/eco/survival stuff

  • mutual aid & organizing

Any recs? Or links to lists of recs? Also open to things outside of what I listed

  • ElGosso [he/him]

    I personally recommend The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle

      If we are going by readability and re-readability! My absolute number 1 pick- I have literally read this book more times than probably any other book, and I'm certain that every re-read brought me immense joy and new insights: this isn't just a book...its a friend for life.

      full disclosure, yes, I own shares in the 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'
