What good books do any of you suggest on Communism that I can find at my local library or Barnes and Noble? I can't seem to find any good books on communism.

My B&N's will contain the capital and the communist manifesto which are available online, but I assume you prefer hardcopies. In addition you can probably find Parenti's works in there along with some Zizek. What exactly are you looking for? History, philosophy, economy, social analysis?

If you have access to a university library, probably all the major works by major communist authors. My local library had some Marx (Manifesto and Poverty of Philosophy) and some works by Lenin (can't remember exactly), and this library was in a rural town. As far as B&N goes, check the used section. The one near me had three copies of Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution at one point.

Outside of Marx, which I would highly suggest you read first...before anything...you can check out these (BN should have them):

Marxism and Freedom by Raya Dunayevskaya

World Revolution by CLR James

From Lenin to Stalin by Victor Serge

Karl Marx: His Life and Work by Otto Ruhle

The Letters of Rosa Luxemburg

There's a lot more, but I'm too lazy to list or think of em.
