Lord of the Flies.

Excellent book, haven't read it since high school, but I still remember it vividly.

I just started on Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David Graeber.

Looking forward to reading this, mainly to see how somebody writes over 400 pages about drone and doesn't mention Stars of the Lid once.

Now that's just a travesty.

Definitely on my to-read list.

I start reading Ulysses by Irish writer James Joyce. I tried to read this modernist novel several times already, but the maximum reached the third chapter. This time I want to read to the end, no matter how long it takes me.

"Anyone who says vaccines are safe and effective is Lying"
Vernon Coleman.

Not very light reading perhaps but wanted to get some balance of opinion and my own efforts to try and stay informed about this contaversial subject.

Reading "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami right now. It's a surprisingly compelling and emotionally complex romance novel, not something you usually get out of those. Great book!

Just finished "On Anarchism" by Noam Chomsky. A little odd in that it purports to be an introductory text for the "anarcho-curious," and the first two chapters are answers really basic questions before the third suddenly dives headfirst into Spanish Civil War scholarship.

Now I'm on to "No Logo" by Naomi Klein, a classic that I'm past-due on reading. Also picked up Nell Irvin Painter's "The History of White People" and a book of essays on the philosophy of 1984, arguably my favorite book.

Haruki Murakami is fantastic! "Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World" has got to be among my top 5 favorite novels.

Wait, what?

I can recommend the shampoo bottle. Exciting list of ingredients.

[bungler666]

Yes, the shampoo bottle.
I remember when I was a kid I was fascinated by it because everything was written in swedish, danish and norwegian at the same time!

Just finished Stuart Maconie's The Nanny State Made Me and agreed with pretty much every word.

Gotta love the Radcliffe & Maconie show, they had some great guests in their Original run. Good times

Just finished reading outside looking in by T C Boyle which is about the LSD experiments of Dr. Timothy Leary and his addled participants, it’s very well written and focuses on the beginning leading up to the 60s psychedelic revolution. It’s fictional not biographical but is quite engaging

Currently half way through Solaris.

I haven't been able to read lately, I've tried numerous times but my mind keeps getting distracted by random thoughts.

Just finished Brave New World - Aldous Huxley.

[SamuraiDrifter]

Just finished Brave New World - Aldous Huxley.

Excellent book, to state the obvious.

I'm reading a couple of books at once now - Manufacturing Consent by Herman & Chomsky, and The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy by Jim Marrs for a little bit of tinfoil hat spiciness. Also just picked up The Utopia of Rules by David Graeber, and on the fiction front, Neuromancer by Gibson (a classic I'm way overdue on) and White Jazz by James Ellroy.
