  1. Books from all tendencies are allowed. Please don’t downvote something just because it’s from somebody that you dislike.
  2. However, the general rule against sectarianism still applies here. A writing that takes a potshot at others every now and then is acceptable. Outright polemics dedicated to denouncing other tendencies belong elsewhere.
  3. No linking to online book stores.
  4. No memes or videos.

I want one that's fun to read, and one that is not horrible anti-communist propaganda. I tried to find a biography myself but it turned up a bunch of weird reactionary books as well as some that just look boring. Also idk if this is the right community for this question? But I hope so...

Michael Heinrich is undertaking this project right now. The first book is "Karl Marx and the Birth of Modern Society." It's on my shelf, but I haven't had the chance to read it, yet. Heinrich is primarily known for "value form theory." He's somewhat controversial among theorists, but is a committed student of Marx.
