Hi! In the past I’ve only read some extremely basic theory on anarchism, I haven’t really had time to go more in depth, but recently I’ve had more time on my hands and am looking to get more educated, currently the only books I have on my list are “The Conquest of Bread” and “Anarchy Works”, and I’m looking for anything else that I should read.
Audiobooks are also greatly appreciated!
Thank you! I take frequent breaks from social media, so I may not respond in the day, but I do greatly appreciate any recommendations.
I always recommend Desert. I honestly think this is one of the most important anarchist works of the past few decades.

Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology by David Graeber
Anything by Emma Goldman
Renzo Novatore had a lot of great stuff too, and lived every word of it. Just read his bio on wikipedia, he didn’t give a FUCK.

And do yourself a favor and read “The Dispossessed” by Ursula K Le Guin. It does a fantastic job of portraying an anarchic society, warts and all.
If I think of anything else I’ll add it here.

Thank you! Renzo Novatore seems to be a fascinating person, I’m particularly excited to read his work! Everything else you recommended also looks very exciting, I don’t think there’s a single thing that I’m not looking forward to reading!
You’re very welcome! I got Novatore’s complete works not long ago, he really had a gift. Beautifully talented poet and certified badass.
I hope you enjoy the rabbit hole of anarchism :) when I “discovered” it for myself years ago, I immediately knew I was in the right place. “You mean other people have been thinking like I do for centuries? I’m in.”
