Readers also love the Verso Book Club

  • Verso and its authors are the most important intellectual presence in my life.

  • The sheer quantity of material accessible through the book club means I am never wanting for figuring out what I’d like to read.

  • It pushes me to read more. When I don’t have anything immediately lined up on my reading list, I can count on the Verso Book club to send me something interesting, so this way I’m always reading something.

  • I enjoy having my horizons broadened with books I might not necessarily pick for myself.

Wondering what books to bring to your next protest, blockade, night in jail? Join me and other comrades at the Verso Book Club.

Andreas Malm, author of How to Blow Up A Pipeline
