Suggested reading?

What are some reads that would be helpful in helping me more fully understand my interest in marxism and leninism? (I'm new?)

For Marx suggestions, see

As for Lenin, I recommend you buy a copy of Robert Tucker's Lenin Anthology. It's got all of his best and most essential works and it's only $7 or $8 with shipping if you buy it online.

Thank you.

There's a good thread filled with books and other reads that are great for beginners. It's not all marxism and leninism, but you can surely find stuff on them in this thread. Plus it can't hurt to read writings from other influences.

Unfortunately for me, you need 25 posts to post a link here, and I only have 7, but you can find the thread if you search "reading list for beginners revleft" in google. The first link will take you to page 2 of the thread I'm talking about.

Best of luck to ya!

The same three fantastic books I always recommend.
1. Marx for Beginners
2. Marx's Kapital for Beginners
3. A People's History of the World

For Leninism The State and Revolution is essential.
