minus-squareklangcola@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·4 days agoNot exactly a new book, but All Quiet on the Western Front was a fantastic read. It’s a grotesquely frank depiction of the unfortunate "Have Not"s fighting a meaningless war for the "Have"s in society, set in the german trenches of WW1.
