You may want to keep this thread as the 'master thread' as the other forum gets way more traffic thus pushing threads into the memory hole.

Anyways, I'd like to add a few books to this list that cover a lot of American foreign policy that is not conventional wisdom; at least as far as most Americans are concerned.

Secrecy & Privilege: The Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq
Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press and Project Truth
Trick or Treason: The October Surprise Mystery

All by Robert Parry former Associated Press, News Week, and PBS reporter. Now has his own website @ http://www.consortiumnews.com/
 
"Animal Farm" by George Orwell is a must-read. The message is so subtle and unassuming that I'm thinking of introducing it to my 14-year-old sister, who doesn't like politics or "deep" subjects. The beauty of it, at least for a teen or young adult is that, by the time you realize you're being taught a moral lesson, you're already ensnared by the gripping storyline and don't want it to end. BUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to the library. If they don't have it, have them order it. That's what I do whenever they don't have something I want to read and can't afford to buy it.
 
I don't have the money to buy all these books :(

So depressing.

No, I don't either. YOu can get a lot of them at the library, and always try eBay, half.com and amazon used for cheap prices.

I found "dying to win" for .50 at a thrift store. I wasn't really looking for it, but I was glad I found it.

I'd like to stay away from the "sick side" but if you look close, You Can't Go Home Again IS on the list already.
 
David Icke's books, the chilling audiobook 'I am Legend' by Richard Matheson and Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper can all be downloaded off torrent easily. The preferred, resource-light program is UTorrent.
 
oh... awesome... the list was so long i was gettin' dizzy...

well alright! happy reading everyone!

(i'm a friggin' book worm)
