Hey comrades, I’m looking for some non-fiction book recommendations that aren’t explicitly Marxist, but still interesting or engaging or entertaining.

I’ve re-read a lot of my favorites too many times, so what are your faves? Any topic really.

    I really liked ‘Marching Powder’ about a British guy who ends up in a Bolivarian prison. It has it’s own fucked up sort of economy, and becomes a sort of microcosm of capitalism and wealth inequality as a whole, with the richer inmates having what are essentially pretty nice apartments for cells and the poor inmates living in hell on earth. Eventually he adapts and starts giving tours to western tourists. A pretty dark story, but enough gallows humor to stay entertaining.
