I'm fairly new to all this and I'm doing quite a lot of reading. So far I've read dozens of articles and some essays online, but now I'm moving on to books. I've already read a few of Guevara's. So, what do you think of my choices so far, and can you recommend any others? I'm going to build up to Capital and the like, as most seem to consider it fairly heavy stuff.
The Communist Manifesto - Marx & Engels
Anarchism: A Collection of Revolutionary Writings - Peter Kropotkin
Proposed Roads to Freedom: Socialism, Anarchism and Syndicalism - Bertrand Russel
On Guerilla Warfare - Mao Zedong
Global Justice: Liberation and Socialism - Ernesto "Che" Guevara
I'd prefer some light-ish stuff for now, as I haven't had much time to spend getting my head around in-depth economics yet, with exams at school etc. If you could recommend a few starters, then more in-depth texts that I could progress on to, that'd be great. Thanks :)
Edit: I wasn't sure whether or not to put this in Learning, apologies if anyone feels it should be over there.
