What sort of books do people want to read!! Ok that's VERY general. I'm thinking a lot of people here are gonna be interested in leftist/gender/queer stuff so it'd be great to read some non-fiction political/theory stuff and discuss it? Also I dunno what sort of fiction people are cool with reading, I don't especially want to read every Terry Pratchett book but if people suggest a couple books they'd like to read/have read they think'd be good that'd be a cool start I think

the female man by joanna russ (its 'sci fi' but its basically a womans feminist manifesto from the 70s.) some stuff is outdated biological essentialism but oh man im really digging it so far

I may as well go first: a couple of books I've read before that I think'd be cool to discuss are The Third Policeman (Irish humorous surreal journey through an ~alternative world~) and Wuthering Heights. I was looking at reading Dead Souls soon

OH YES daphny i read that on anna anthropy's recommendation and it's really really awesome right now i'm bad at analysing things but i dug the HELL out of that

I was thinking maybe something like The Industrialisati​on of Soviet Russia Volume 5: The Years of Hunger: Soviet Agriculture 1931-1933 by R. W. Davies

YOU JUST PICKED THE DRIEST SOUNDING BOOK YOU KNOW WOW RED NAYLOR

i like naylor's suggestion

i've been meaning to read this since i read marge peircy's woman on the edge of time so i'd be interested i n this maybe

I am really into stuff about radical politicans, dictators, also philosophy books. I especially love scifi with political themes (as scifi tends to have) like the classics 1984 and F451, and usually prefer stuff with stories rather than dry theories and research and stuff. GLBTQ books are always a go, as well :)

I like Daphney's suggestion, always into good scifi

I've been trying to find a good book on the history of the Black Panther Party so I can learn more of what they're really like. Does anyone know of any good books on them?

I would like to read all of these books yes (maybe even naylor's)
