My partner got me Black Marrow! (It could be defined as a horror comic book with religious undertones, it is very short and intense and i adore it sm)
I recently read through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, new book in the series just came out so I plan on reading that one next. It's a comedy/adventure sci-fi and fantasy. It has elements of class oppression and intergalactic revolution. It's not strictly Marxist, but it's not horribly lib either. It's a fun story and it's not just a power fantasy as most stories in the "Dungeon" genre tend to be (e.g. solo leveling).
I also read through the Convergence series, which is a fantasy story about the only wizard in modern society who is trying to stop a fantasy world from colliding with the modern world. It's pretty good, the comedy is quite good, and has hilarious references to marxism throughout. However, there is one section where they completely misrepresent communism which was unfortunate, but it is not really relevant to the overall story, so if you ignore that section it is an overall fun story.
next on my list is probably left hand of darkness or something from the discworld series.
I am reading several manhwa and stuff because I miss reading that (I lost access to the website that originally housed it).
Do you like reading that?
I've had this on the shelf for some time, but before I start reading it, does anyone have an opinion of "Karl Marx's Das Kapital: A modern-day interpretation of a true classic" by Steve Shipside? Waste of time? Good read?
I just finished Heinlein's "Have Spacesuit will travel". I really liked it when I was a kid. It's mostly a kind of cute proto-YA sci-fi read. It's fun to see the "hard" bits in sci-fi โ like using a slide rule, or calculating how many light-years back to Earth.
It's way more reactionary than I remembered, with some laughably vapid libertarian politics, and a kind of shocking reference to Hitler in a list of "people writing books in prison". I won't keep the book.
