Hey everyone came here after reddit started censoring everyone and anything.

I'll put down some suggestions and whatever folks are interested in I'll do weekly/bi-weekly posts talking about the chapter with folks.

Please comment if you are interested and/or have a suggestion

these are all a bit longer and I've read 2/3 (Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin and Anarchism by Goldman) the third is a fascinating one but I'm also open to other suggestions for what to read together.

I'll also include a really short essay in the comments and short story for personal reading here.

Hell yeah! I just read Bakunin’s God and the State, a collection of Kropotkin’s work, Wengrow’s and Graeber’s Dawn of Everything, Emma Goldman’s Anarchism and other Essay’s and I’m currently reading Rudolf Rocker’s Anarcho-Syndicalism. So pretty much a lot of the classics. Graeber’s ”Are you an anarchist? The answer might suprise you” which you have linked is a great introduction to anarchist ideas.

Great foundation, thought about adding Dean Spade's Mutual aid:

but thought that more introductory books might be better
