The book that stands out to me would probably have to be: "Rocket and Lightship" because of the depth of the essays. Worth reading if you ask me.

I gave up on the Marx and Engels Reader, because it was just too dense.
I finished Also finished which was very interesting, a must read.
Also finished
And a book I forgot to mention,
that was also an interesting read about a range of topics.

Not sure what i'll read next.
