brriamcold's "All The Books I Own"

I saw your list due to your comments on my Russian books list. “Very nice”, (as Borat might say).

One additional item to go along with your “Russian studies” type readings is “To the Finland Station” by Edmund Wilson. If you’ve never read it, it gives a fairly sympathetic account of the rise of communist thought from it’s wobbly beginnings through Lenin, emphasizing personalities involved as much as theories. Also deals with the anarchists. A good read as well as educational.
