Reading socially is just so much better than reading alone.

There was no appetite for bread when I asked, so I welcome other suggestions. Highly-upvoted comments in the thread will be bookclubbed. Some suggestions that're on my radar:

  • David Graeber – Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology (100 pages)

  • Cockshott – Towards A New Socialism (199 pages)

  • Hannah Arendt – The Origins of Totalitarianism

  • Amílcar Cabral, Resistance and Decolonisation (205 pages)

  • Fanon – The Wretched of the Earth (251 pages)

  • Bread Is the Devil: Win the Weight Loss Battle by Taking Control of Your Diet Demons by Heather Bauer and Kathy Matthews

    Bread Is the Devil: Win the Weight Loss Battle by Taking Control of Your Diet Demons by Heather Bauer and Kathy Matthews

    So this is the "bread book" anarchists keep telling me to read

    I would love to re-read fanon, and I think it's very relevant to the situation in west Africa being what it is right now
