It’s time for another monthly reading list! For this month, I’ve been turning to a bit more fiction, as well as some more literary non-fiction. Now that we’re more than a year into COVID-19, I’m thinking a bit about what I’d be reading in a coffee shop. I think most of these would make great coffee shop books.

These are posts about books from the blog Base and Superstructure. Occasionally I’ll read a book worth talking about, and write some thoughts on it. These cover a wide range of topics from the blog.
Welcome to the March edition of our reading list series! For this round, I’ve focused mostly on non-fiction (with one alt-history exception). I’ve included everything from Roman history to contemporary politics. Enjoy!
So, I read lots of science fiction books, and therefore lots of sci-fi book series. After all, the sci-fi book series forms of the core of the genre. An author writes a good book, leaves enough on the table to allow for more, the book gets popular, and then: Bam! It’s a series. It’s happened hundreds of times.
But I don’t often write about science fiction in this blog. I did write about the curious implications of one book in the era of COVID-19, and another in the era of automation. But I’ll go a little bigger in this post. Here are some of my favorite sci-fi book series.
With the second reading list post of 2021, I’ve moved mostly to fiction (with a bit of feminist geography thrown in!). No TV shows or movies this time. Just books.
Some exciting news: Today I’ve released a new eBook! It’s called Capitalism’s Heart Surgeon: Elizabeth Warren and the Progressive Movement. And so, click the link to purchase on Kindle for a very accessible and affordable 99 cents.
Capitalism’s Heart Surgeon covers the Elizabeth Warren 2020 campaign and what it means for leftists. In short, I think the Warren campaign revealed differences on the left many of us hadn’t previously noticed. As leftists, it’s our job to put together a broad coalition of workers and tenants. The Warren campaign, by contrast, focused on highly educated progressives. And leftists have a complex relationship with that group that we should think about.
Having both the Warren and Sanders campaigns revealed some big differences on the left. We can and should learn from all this. In this eBook, I build on some of my past posts on Warren.
