Anonymous Coward User ID: 1214833 Canada 01/03/2011 09:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | George Orwell's animal farm. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1213695I second this. "Animal Farm" might not be as well known as 1984. But it's just as important a novel. Definitely read it. Another would be "A Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley. Also: We by Yevgeny Zamyatin - a precursor to both those novels. Other suggestions: Umberto Eco: Foucault's Pendulum Umberto Eco: Name of the Rose Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment - a real page turner! Italo Calvino, Edgar Allan Poe, HP Lovecraft - good short horror stories. THEM by Jon Ronson |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 851544 United States 01/03/2011 09:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would recommend, 'The Terrible Truth about Liberals' and 'The Fair Tax Book' both by Neil Boortz. The Terrible Truth About Liberals "Boortz at his insightful, inflammatory, in-your-face best. He calls it 'a strong dose of anti-liberal venom'. His philosophical opponents will call it a full frontal attack. Readers will call it a hoot. From questioning the true definitions of democracy and racism to challenging the entire social security system, Boortz provides insights into nagging social and political issues. He may be contentious, but he's never dull." The Fair Tax Book. "Wouldn't you love to abolish the IRS ...Keep all the money in your paycheck ...Pay taxes on what you spend, not what you earn ...And eliminate all the fraud, hassle, and waste of our current system? Then the FairTax is for you. In the face of the outlandish American tax burden, talk-radio firebrand Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder are leading the charge to phase out our current, unfair system and enact the FairTax Plan, replacing the federal income tax and withholding system with a simple 23 percent retail sales tax on new goods and services. This dramatic revision of the current system, which would eliminate the reviled IRS, has already caught fire in the American heartland, with more than six hundred thousand taxpayers signing on in support of the plan…" |

wisc_natureboy User ID: 1216076 United States 01/03/2011 07:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ishmael is a 1992 philosophical novel by Daniel Quinn. It examines mythology, its effect on ethics, and how that relates to sustainability. The novel uses a style of Socratic dialogue to deconstruct the notion that humans are the end product, the pinnacle of biological evolution. It posits that human supremacy is a cultural myth, and asserts that modern civilization is enacting that myth. Ishmael was awarded the $500,000 Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award. The book is the first of a trilogy including The Story of B and My Ishmael. I have gifted many copies of this book. We all breathe the same air. .-.. --- ...- . / .- .-.. .-.. |
