I hear there's this one website where they have a big archive of books and articles about anarchism and communism. Think its called lib-something.
Seriously though, I think you need to be much more specific to start a productive thread.

Other than the obvious holy shit! I didn't think I would have to explain that part...

I did refuse to but, but that's beside the point I meant outside of the obvious...I didn't think I'd have to be that specific. I wanted this thread to be as general as possible.

You do realize however that there's a metric fuckton of stuff out there, and a recommended reading only really makes sense if we know better what you're looking for, like, beginner stuff or more theoretical (and one might argue that even depends on what you mean by Literature! Novels, essays, plays?!) for example, or what kind of issues you might want to learn about.
It would be a lot easier if you could point us in one direction instead of going "toss everything anti-status quo at me".
Obvious recommendation: Das Kapital, just to get this out of the way.

I wouldn't start a thread for people to tell me what I already know. This thread is (or was) meant to be as general and vague as possible so the responses would greatly vary. I am fully aware of libcom's archives...

My plan has obviously backfired greatly. For (as I keep repeating) I meant for this thread to be as vague as possible as opposed to fixed on 1 very specific thing. And the title does say "Reading/Media" it doesn't have to be literature.
And I should have read Das Kapital a long ass time ago, just sayin'.

Read "In Watermelon Sugar" by Richard Brautigan.
It is fictional and beautiful and only loosely related to "Communism, or just general Leftism and/or general anti-rightism/anti-capitalism?" as it is set in what seems to be a post apocolyptic commune.

Trust me, Marx isn't going to corrupt your anarcho-purity.
