Burnt Offerings

I've been checking out my grandfather's book collection recently (he died before I was born but left a pretty substantial library of old books which are now mine), I've been diving into an old compilation of Karl Marx's writings which is pretty good. It was published during the Great Depression and has a really nice introduction by Max Eastman, where he explains historical materialism in a really concise, accessible way and (rightfully imo) jettisons the German philosophical aspect of Marx's thought, the influence of Hegel and the dialectic and all that crap...
I've also been getting into The Antichrist by Nietzsche, edited & with an introduction by HL Mencken. A bunch of other books by Plato, Spinoza, Dostoevsky etc that I hope to get to at some point too! So many classics so little time lol
