If any of them are on the internet, please, tell me :D

I think any leftist doesn´t need to read any book to be considered as a leftist. Anyway, about books, u could read "Das Kapital" from Marx.

ADD:

1) this one is Communist Manifesto:

http://www.mondopolitico.com/library/commu...festo_intro.htm (http://www.mondopolitico.com/library/communistmanifesto/communistmanifesto_intro.htm)

2) Not on line , but surely a good read, very new nook:

Title: New socialisms : futures beyond globalization / edited by Robert Albritton ... [et al.].
Imprint London ; New York : Routledge, 2004.

In its approach to offer solutions to deter/remedy the shits that capitalism had stirred up, this book provides a neo-perspective in trying to combine democracy and socialism. It also talks about feminism and environmental-politics under socialism~

Read the communist manifesto by M&E, what needs to be done, the state and the revolution, imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism all by Lenin and Capital by Marx. As Raisa pointed out, they are all avalible on marx(ist).org

Also, for some Norwegian literature, read Communistic offensive, Marxistic rennesance by Terje Valen. Its avalible at most libraries.
