I just finished Michael Parenti's Blackshirts and Reds. Really great for anyone starting to get into political theory and marxist lit (as I am!). Also am halfway through Daniel N. Paul's We Were Not The Savages, which is a history of the relations between the Mi'kmaq people of Eastern Canada and New England from the first arrival of European ships to modern day. I live in this area and was shamefully unaware of the history beyond the very basics and its been enlightening.

Everything Parenti wrote about Choamsky in BS&R is even more relevant today than ever!
