Books that may interest some of you.

Isn't it sad there's no literature section here? Maybe I'm the only one that would use it often, *shrugs*

Here's a small list of books I've read in most recent time (the past couple of weeks or so) that I would recommend to people in general. I'm not sure any of you agree with any of the beliefs or statements of the books, but I almost always seek books that I know do NOT hold my ideas, because it will always teach you much more than reading a book you can just nod your head through. Explore. View new angles, even if you don't agree. At least be aware of the stance other people hold, rather than get your information from mass media or somebody you don't trust to hold reliable, full, researched information.

The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle
The Making Of A Counter Culture - Theodore Roszak
The Communist Manifesto - Karl Marx/Friedrich Engles
Dianetics - LL Cool Ron Hubbard (Read it for fun, I don't advocate any of it at all, I looked at it entirely from an anti-Scientologist perspective, and I enjoyed the comedy it provided)
Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis - Jimmy Carter
Fat Land - Greg Critser


Please, submit some others if you think I or others would enjoy them, hopefully this can be a small ring for exchanging books and information for those that have the time and will to read and educate themselves

(P.S. - Do not recommend The Holy Bible, I've read it thoroughly multiple times, and it's not funny to think that I haven't explored its meanings.)
