I am currently reading it, and it is marvellous. Defintely a very important life changing book as many have said.

Thanks for making me properly aware of it.


I'm glad you are it enjoying TSC, I have a well-read friend who was/is a Marxist; oddly enough he is only person I've met who didn't like the book, saying it was too didactic.

Robert Tressell was trying to explain Marxism to working class people in allergorical terms. I read it when I was quite young and completely unpoliticised; it worked for me in terms of highlighting the injustice the working class used to (and still do) endure.


Thanks tjj. It's funny how you can be introduced to something that chimes with what you have always felt to be right the way of things, regardless of labels. I'm not a member of any party or subscribe to any doctrines, political or otherwise. I just follow my own heart and judgement, and it certainly corresponds in this instance.
