[i]coldjwplay: Booky Wooks

I have read a lot of books recently, which pleases me no end. I read a sympathetic history of the Peasants' Revolt, which I really enjoyed and have lent to my mum. I read Truth by Terry Pratchett, which was disappointing in that it recycled old jokes from his other books. I read The Dice Man, lent to me by [info]aster13, which was delicious and very enjoyable - I could see why friends of mine had ended up with nervous breakdowns after following its dictates.

The problem is what I should read next. I want to read another piece of non-fiction, and there are three options. One, a collection of essays by George Orwell. Two, a sympathetic history of the Levellers and other proto-communist groups of the English Civil War. Three, Zombie Capitalism, a contemporary Marxist analysis of the credit crunch. Which do you think would be best?
