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

        Only if you have a ton of time and end up really liking what you read, its usually in 3 volumes, at least for the English translations. Get the Selections version that you usually see when you type that phrase in to find it whether it be your-favorite-bookstore.com or Anna's Archive it should be the first result. All those books should be easy to find there. :party-parrot-science:
