books that make you feel like a broken-down horse. or perhaps a nihilistic ass.

Fascinating. Still gathering my thoughts, but a very interesting take on communism & politics explained in a way that is mostly easy to understand.

This is probably my favourite book of all time. I have only read it twice so far and I can’t stop thinking about it. 
Small Spoiler Below
As a part of my grade 12 politics class, we watched a series of lectures called ‘The American Paradox’ by Heather Cox Richardson and it’s available free on youtube, and essentially it was american equality is based on inequality and the fear the becoming equal will make everything unequal. I though about this when I reached the ‘All animals are equal but some are more equal than other’ line and holy shit. (That was the series thesis and I read animal farm after that)

I loved the writing style and after I started reading I just kept reading. It also has a great audiobook version on spotify. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
