OMG great thread, I am surprised I hadn't seen it before...

Right now I am reading: A Stone for Danny Fisher by Harold Robbins. Before that it was Gingerman by J.P. Donleavy.

Gingerman was an awesome book, and so far, Mr. Robbins does not disappoint.

The New Dynamics of Goal Setting - Denis Waitley

I'm trying to act on my goals after procrastinating for a few months. The suggestions in this book aren't bad although it does have the whiney "motivational" book element to it.

On the Road - Jack Kerouac.

Amazing book right there.

I just got finished reading The Mysterious Stranger, a short story by Mark Twain. It was very twisted, my first encounter with Mark Twains work, giving me a new found respect for him.

Here's a clip of a 1980's cartoon, based on the short book of short stories the Mysterious Stranger comes from.

Now I'm taking on the works of Karl Marx. A book called Capital Volume 2... they didn't have Volume 1 at the library.

I'm reading nothing but college text books out the ass right now, but I just recently finished reading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. He's a badass, I love everything of his (everything I've read so far anyway).

BearsysRevenge · 02-01-2008, 02:11 PM

I've got 3 books I'm working on right now.

Beyond Good and Evil - Nietzsche

god Is Not Great - Christopher Hitchens

Why I Am Not A Christian - Bertrand Russell

I gotta sneak when I read these, cause my mom is a hardcore fundie, and if she finds out I'm an atheist she'll boot me out of the house.

Plus I got, Introduction to Film, Political Philosophy: In Moral Conflict, and English Composition 110. College education ftw.

^The noticible absense of the current NYT best-seller, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins brings me to ask if you've read it or skipped it on purpose or might I reccomend it? Sounds right up your ally.

Shock Doctrine......by Naomi Klein

"Why The Right Loves A Disaster"

The Face of Fascism in a Global System Heading for Collapse!
The Shock Doctrine lays bare the vicious nature of capitalist globalization, and shows us how and why our world has been so radically transformed over the last half-century; Klein spills the blood of the lie that “free markets” mean free people.
