The "Is it worth reading?" thread

[TheGodlessUtopian]

With so many threads about what we are reading I thought it may be handy to have a thread where members ask other members about various books they have come across both online and in real-life, about if they are books which are worth the time for whatever project they are working on. I know I have often come across many books which would have been nice to have a second opinion on before I got very far in them.

So use this thread to ask questions about the content of books of all shades and genres and get that second opinion before you waste the next dozen hours in tackling something which [author B] wrote in much simpler, less-wordy format than [author A].

Is "The Black Book of Capitalism" any good?

I heard of this Karl Marx dude, is he worth reading?

No, he's a fucking hippy with a drinking problem and a weird thing for indecent exposure in public. He write this book Capital which would've been more vilumes than three, but some shit happened, a drug deal went bad. Capital and it's volumes are very worth reading, I'd also recommend critique of the gothe programme

The State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin is worth reading and rereading
