"Russia: Revolution and Civil War". Antony Beevor is an historian with a knack for good anecdotes. It can be a little hard to follow, but it's worth a read. His books about the battle of Stalingrad and Berlin are much better though.
I'm currently reading "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff". If you need a book to unwind from a brick about the civil war, this is it. It's hilarious.
"Salt Fat Acid Heat" is recommended by everyone for a reason. Unfortunately, I read before bedtime and it makes me want to get out of bed and cook things.
"A very brief introduction to Marx" is exactly what's on the tin. These very brief introductions are a great way to read about something, although the writing quality varies from book to book.
