It's been a while since I took the test, but I think I was more left-libertarian than Gandhi! I should take it again - they may have updated the questions anyway.

There is a general reading list for each of the compass quadrants: https://www.politicalcompass.org/reading.

For my own Left Libertarian quadrant, for general political learning, I would recommend:

  • Naomi Klein books (Canadian socialist, environmental activist, and critic of globalisation)
  • Noam Chomsky videos e.g. on YouTube (anarchist, MIT linguist, critic of US foreign policy and capitalism). He has a bunch of books as well, but they can be a bit academic
  • David Edwards & David Cromwell (independent critics of the mainstream media, e.g. Guardians of Power is good)
  • If you are interested in gender issues, especially about masculinity in a feminist context, this list of feminists helping on men's issues is very good: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/3tn9kc/a_list_of_feminist_resources_tackling_mens_issues/
  • bell hooks, a black feminist writer, on masculinity: https://www.amazon.com/Will-Change-Men-Masculinity-Love/dp/0743456084#reader_0743456084 (there's a preview). I've not read this yet, but I mean to.
  • Understanding the context of gender and the new American culture wars can be helpful as well, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_controversy is a big lodestone for alt-righters.

    By the way, regarding people who are caught up in Red Pill and MRA, there are some different thoughts on how to deal with this as a political phenomenon, especially if it is true that the wider anti-PC movement helped Trump to the Presidency. Some folks say that attachment to hardline/hate ideologies can be an addiction (like people fascinated with fascism) and thus we should treat those folks kindly. Other people say that at least some people in the hate echo chamber know what they are doing, and they deserve as much criticism as can be thrown at them. I think it depends on a lot of things, but it's interesting to think about.

    Hope that helps, let me know how you get on!

I was given One Hundred Hill Walks Around Birmingham as a present before, it's pretty good with maps and directions, although would be nice if it had a map showing all the walks in the book on the same page.

Wing Yip do these, but not quite what you're after.

I found these on Amazon, £15 for 100 or thereabouts.
