Hello comrades and friends! I've gotten back into reading and I've been buying books about fascism, because of the political climate. I've picked up a few books, like

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Cradles of the Reich by Jen Coburn The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

I know they aren't strictly anarchist, but they do talk about fascism/authoritarianism. Could you recommend me some books about anarchism as well as more books on fascism? I prefer fiction, but will read non-fiction as well.

I'm reading Foucault's Pendulum and The Name of the Rose by him.

Both great books. Can’t remember too much about Foucaults Pendulum, but I really liked the explanation that you can bend mathematics too proof that every building, even a simple food stall on the street is aligned to the stars.

I’ve read it ages ago, have to pick it up and refresh my memory.
