First as Tragedy, then as Farce is an interesting book by Zizek. Also since you are a Marxist-Leninist I would suggest maybe a Grover Furr read: I've never read Khrushchev lied, but that might be something that interests you.

The State and Revolution, Two Tactics of Social-Democracy.
Also, I just bought the book Everyday Stalinism, which is reportedly a fairly balanced look at the average life of a Soviet citizen during the 30's, but I haven't actually received it yet...

Ten Days That Shook the World and Homage to Catalonia, if you haven't read them. Beyond the politics, they're both very enjoyable and well written books. Certainly more interesting that Che's outdated and, for us, irrelevant little manual, a book whose sales rest entirely on the radical-chic caché of the author.
o well this is ok I guess

Kierkegaard's "The Present Age"
Take it not as a an argument against revolution, but an analysis of an opposition towards it.

A People's History of the United States,
Confessions of an Economic Hitman
The Shock Doctrine
What is to be Done?
Homage to Catalonia
Anatomy of Revolution
- and if you want to step a little bit outside of the nonfiction and theory norm, I would highly recommend the Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin and Feed by M.T. Anderson

- Writings of Rosa Luxemburg (http://www.amazon.com/Writings-Rosa-Luxemburg-Revolution-National/dp/1934941913/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1311306110&sr=8-8) This is the specific copy I have. Includes the National Question, Reform or Revolution and much more.
- The Russian Revolution and Marxism or Leninism? by Rosa Luxemburg (Can be found in a single book)
- The Accumulation of Capital by Rosa Luxemburg (assuming you have read Capital. Otherwise, wait until you read Capital)
- The Revolution Betrayed by Leon Trotsky
- Fascism, What It is and how to Fight It by Leon Trotsky
- Living in the End Times by Slavoj Zizek
- Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky
Any Karl Marx, Karl Liebknecht, George Orwell etc.
All of this can be found, I believe, at marxists.org
