Hi! I’m looking for some good book recommendations! I’m looking for something like Beautiful World, Where are You by Sally Rooney. It’s about 4 friends and they all date each other at different times. However, she injects a bit of political theory in to the story, about how conservative isn’t sustainable because nothing can be conserved. It was a really good part of the book, I though. Any books where they inject political theory like that? Also, political fiction is welcome. I enjoyed reading these books:

It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Plot Against America by Philip Roth 1984 by George Orwell Brave New World by Aldous Huxley It Happened Here by Richard Dresser

Thank you!

    The Wave I’d say is pretty good, nothing groundbreaking tho lol.

    it’s a dramatized true story of a history teacher in the 1970’s(?) wanting to teach his ignorant students about the rise of fascism, but it goes too far, to not spoil much. to me it’s a bit of a classic tbh and gets fun at times but again nothing you’ve never seen before :) it’s pretty short anyway
