stud terkels - coming of age

Right now I'm reading Peter Hamilton's The Reality Dysfunction. Someone recommended him to me so I'm giving him a go, good so far.

In terms of my own recommendations, well, for those into fantasy Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenent series is bloody good. He's also written a sci-fi series which I will get around to reading sometime soon.

The book I've really enjoyed most recently is Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna. It's historical fiction set in the US and Mexico in the 1930s-50s.

Re-reading Living My Life Vol 1-2

Id definitely recommend Off The Map. Its one of the Crimethinc books. One of my favourites, really well written and cheap as hell!

Also No Logo and Rebel Life : Murder By The Rich.

May seem like an obvious recommendation but the amount of people i know who have not read Cather In The Rye is truly astounding.

[jessfive]

I'm going to be reading Off the Map next.

Something completely different, but does anyone else read the National Geographic mags?
I would highly recommend them for the photo's alone and I'm not even into photography. The stories are good too and they don't seem to be too afraid to touch on social or environmental probs, however their main objective is and always will be to sell by giving info, to finance further studies.
Then again you get about 1 mag each month for about 25 bucks (in Euros anyway).

The Men with the Pink Triangle by Heinz Heger

i was reading a post somewhere here about the death of howard Zinn so i decided to wat all the fuss was about and i read the first chapter of "A people's histry of the united states" and even though im not even american...i LOVED the first chapter!!
i highly recommend it

[cronjo]

Uhh, right now reading a book that's a mashup of Spider Robinson and Robert Heinlein. Previous to this one a star wars book, and next up is a book on the rise and fall of socialism.

I would recommend "Please Kill Me: An Uncensored Oral History of Punk" by Legs McNeil and somebody else. Reading that book helped me really understand what punk was about, and it was only a matter of time until I discovered anarcho-punk and fell completely in love

[drun-KEE-n]

I really love the books by Milan Kundera. He is a great writer. His storys act about the relationships of people the permant ambivalences between themselves in the contextes of their political and cultural settings. Really great. i EAT this books. Especially: The Immortality, The Book of Laughering and Forgetting, Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Joke, The Identity

I also love the books by Hermann Hesse, especially Siddharta, Steppenwolf, Demian, Narziss and Goldmund

I'd suggest Calvin & Hobbes - IMHO it's the most essential reading material ever committed to paper. Six-year-old anarchists with tiger best friends are a winning combo.

I read Slaughterhouse-5 by Kurt Vonnegut and I absolutely loved it. Kurt discribes the book (In the book) as anti-glacier satire, because writing an anti-war book is like writing an anti-glacier book. ..They're both unstoppable. Overall, the book was hilarious and very, very sad at the same time. Definately a must-read. I also really loved the Lord of the Flies, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy still stands as my all-time favorite. Currently I'm reading George Orwell's 1984, and it's looking promising so far. (Also Badman, I read Catcher in the Rye and I fucking hated it!)

[ASA]

I DEMAND(tongue in cheek): YOU READ STUDS TERKEL'S: COMING OF AGE, NOW! or as soon as you can, DANKE!

[jessfive]

Why a Harry Potter book may I ask, alittle bit of light reading?

[j3zrahhh]

I just finished reading The Catcher In The Rye (i'm still confused on how that book was tied to the assassination of John Lennon or the attempted assassination of Reagen) and last week i finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird. I've started reading Harp In The South or some shit by an Australian author. i'm sure at one point or another everyone was forced to read these at school...but managed to find away to complete the assignments without having to read the book....classics, excellent now i'm out of highschool.

[punkmar77]
