Does anyone have some good Communist books to recommend?

I think you need to be more specific on this?

What are you looking for,comrade?

History?
Theory?
Philosophy?
Novels (written by communist authors) ?
Biographies?

[Book O'Dead]

The Magic Journey (http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Journey-Novel-John-Nichols/dp/0805063390), a novel by John Nichols

Well,i think these two books would be a great short read (the books are not short,but they are interesting,and you can read them quite fast)

1.) The Young Guard.
2.) How the Steel Was Tempered.

Both are very famous,and many generations were turned to left-wing ideas by these books.

the russian enigma by Ante Ciliga is the greatest shit ever

Well,since you are a Marxist-Leninist,i think you should visit the Marxists.org and see the Lenin archive,Stalin archive,etc etc.

But dont be closed to other writers,[especially because you,as all of us,still have a lot to learn],and theorists.

The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky (http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1918/prrk/index.htm) by Lenin is absolutely wonderful. I recommenced it because I don't hear it talked about much and it was incredibly insightful to me.

marxists.org is the only way poor people like me can read books on communism. FREEEEEEE. :P

[Vyacheslav Brolotov]

read "What Is To Be Done" by Comrade Lenin

[Rooster]

Fuck the rest of the posts here and read what I tell you to read:

Wage Labour and Capital by Marx
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Engels
State and Revolution by Lenin
Marx in his own Words by Ernst Fischer
A close reading of the Communist Manifesto
The German Ideology by Marx

I recommend getting a selected writings of Marx. There was a good one of Marx and Engels in three volumes that contain most of those works I believe (part from Lenin and Fishcer).

If you want literature, I would recommend ''The ragged trousered philanthropists'' by Robert Tressel. It's about the struggle for socialism.

The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky (http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1918/prrk/index.htm) by Lenin is absolutely wonderful. I recommenced it because I don't hear it talked about much and it was incredibly insightful to me.

I'd suggest this too. It's a great book with clear Leninist principles.
