Hello!
Cowbee and I wanted to read some of the books on Comrade’s Library, and we ended up deciding to make a reading group for anybody else that might be interested. We are looking at This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong as the first book. Edit: I was just informed that there is an audiobook by dessalines.

What’s the length of the book?

Yeah, not bad! I think I’ll try and join.
I love a reading group, count me in
Oh, there’s an audiobook by Dessalines on YouTube. That makes it much easier for me. I’m in!
I’m interested in joining.
The previous books I’ve read from Anna Louise Strong were very insightful.
I would like to join
, I’ve had Strong’s This Soviet World on my backburner for a while.I’m in, I struggle to stay engaged with books but I picked up When Serfs Stood up in Tibet and couldn’t put it down again until it was done
I’m interested in participating!
I’m down to read with y’all
I’d like to join the reading group as well, hoping to be able to stick with it.
Seconded. My personal life is on stop-go.
I took part in previous reading group on here and lost interst after a few weeks and felt bad every week that my backlog grew
I think I’ll try again tho Edie [it/it/its/its/itself, she/her/her/hers/herself]@lemmy.encryptionin.spaceOPEnglish
7·13 days agoI’ll say, This Soviet World is quite an easy read. And if you lose interest, that’s the way it is.

I would love to do a book club. Do we have any schedule yet?
Okay I just saw it’s a chapter a week. That sounds good to keep engaged.
