Hey everyone came here after reddit started censoring everyone and anything.

I’ll put down some suggestions and whatever folks are interested in I’ll do weekly/bi-weekly posts talking about the chapter with folks.

Please comment if you are interested and/or have a suggestion

these are all a bit longer and I’ve read 2/3 (Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin and Anarchism by Goldman) the third is a fascinating one but I’m also open to other suggestions for what to read together.

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread

I’ll also include a really short essay in the comments and short story for personal reading here.

    Just as a fun side note, in one collection of her short stories (the wind’s twelve quarters), she has a story about the beginnings the Odonians. In her author notes regarding that short story she says:

    this story is about one of the ones who walked away from Omelas

    I think reading both short stories back to back helped me contextualize better what Omelas means to me and, possibly, to her.

      Ooh, interesting, I didn’t know about that. I definitely want to read more, I started reading her a few years ago and have fallen in love with it.
