[close] A place for GP members to share their radical/leftist reads and discuss!

[close] Hi everyone, I'm Grant, Jordan's longform video editor. We've decided to create a list of every book Jordan recommends in his videos as well as others he's read. It will take me awhile to get through every title that needs to be listed here but over the coming weeks I'll update the list as I can. Please utilise your local bookstore, library or booktopia for online purchases. Stop giving Bezos money lol. Apparently if you're viewing this group through the goodreads app you won't be able to see the bookshelf. Stick to the desktop version to see the recommended books. If a book does get mentioned by Jordan but not as a book he actually recommends you read, i.e. Ben Shapiro or Dave Rubin, I may not add to the list. Not all books listed here are an endorsement of the authors work.

[close] For those asking “Why would they say that?” or “How can they think that?”, this is a group where these are not rhetorical questions. We really want to know - whatever your perspective. In this era of social media, I see less of a propensity for critical thinking and learning and more of a drive to shout and turn a deaf ear. We weather socio-economic, racial, religious, political, and other storms with routine frustration and too-often rigorous animosity and slanderous debate. 2020 appears to be one of these storms in our history and developing identity. In this group, we seek to understand. We listen. We think critically and question. Regardless of your position or thoughts on a particular issue, we can all discuss these things through an avenue of books.
