Last I read was the Communist Manifesto (well what was previewed on google books....yes I'll admit it) and the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte by Karl Marx. Don't see what all the Marx hype is about.... *shrug*
I so so so so Agree about Marx, I really can't get my head round communism/Stalinism/Lenninism etc etc fullstop, I hate studying Marx... actually I hate studying ANY historical intellectual (Nietzsche, Weber, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Hegel... they can all go BURN)
Not particularly recent literary study, becuase most of the stuff I look at at university is
mainly crappy history books, but course linked stuff has been:
MAUS- Art Spiegelman
This is Man - Primo Levi
Mr Norris Changes Trains - Christopher Ishewood
The Prince - Machiavelli
The Discourses- Machiavelli
Origins of inequality - Rousseau
The Communist Manifesto - Marx and Engels
On the Geanalogy of Morality- Nietzsche
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirity of Capitalism - Weber
& A levels
Duchess of Malfi- Webster
Oleanna - David Mamet
Enduring Love - Ian McEwan
& A whole anthology of the famous poets pretty much from Chaucer up to Stephen Crane
Maus, Oleanna, Dof Malfi, This is Man and the poetry were pretty much the only ones I liked XD
