I’m reading The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce (Delphi edition) on my tablet.
Just finished Legendborn as well.
The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin is also what I’m reading (second book in the trilogy of The Three-Body Problem)
In terms of non-fiction:
Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism (2nd Edition) by Otto Wille Kuusinen (highly recommended!)
Class, Race and Black Liberation by Henry Winston (also highly recommmend! …Though not before reading the prequel to the book Strategy for a Black Agenda)
Discussion questions:

Enjoy!
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir. In the first volume, Beauvoir tackles the alerity that Man imposed on women, from a historical and literary viewpoint. She goes over the male assumptions of women’s inferiority or otherness in the fields of biology and psychoanalysis, and she has a few comments to say on historical materialism, specifically responding to what Engels’ The Origin of the Family. It’s an interesting read until now, and I’m wondering how this work relates to Beauvoir and Sartre’s polygamous relationship.
I’m looking forward to read some of al-Kawakibi’s works next.
I’ve heard of al-Kawakibi’s work, though I have my sights on other famous Arab authors and philospohers for the time being.
Oh yeah, and wasn’t Simone de Beauvoir a Marxist or was one at some point?
