To Change Everything - an anarchist appeal by crimethinc - because its an intro text that really shows the 2 points I really care about: anarchism is about life / living and anarchist ideals can be applied everywhere

Against the Logic of the Guillotine Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too - just a good text why shouldnt use the tools of the opressors (the state)

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin - using sci-fi to show how an anarchist society might be organized and also what problems might arise

I just recently finished The Dispossessed (as well as the other Hainish novels) and I thoroughly loved it. Le Guin is an incredible writer and so imaginative in her depiction of an anarchic society and it's challenges. All of her other books I've ever read have antihierarchical or at least anticapitalist themes too, although in a less overt way than The Dispossessed.
