[TG Moses VI]

[turtle]

1984 for was mostly anti-communist propaganda. so was animal farm, but it was told much better.

lord of the flies
animal farm
hamlet
carrie (especially in todays high schools lol)
all quiet on the western front

i think that students should be encouraged to read, anything they like, just get them into books.

[Field Marshal]

Yanny - I felt the same way about Jurassic Park (book vs. movie). So much is left out, sub-plots in the movie that just die out…

[EmuGod]

I need a book (work of non-fiction) from an American perspective on any topic from World War 1 and later. I was thinking of something on the Korean War or Cold War. This is for my American History course. Can anyone here recommend something good?

[Yanny]

High School Students?

[DeviantScripter]

I just bought Slander by Ann Coulter…excellent read. On the same note, Sean Hannity’s new book was probably better. :P

As for high school students, you’d see me reccomend a book covering politics way before I’d ever reccomend something by Shakespeare.

[bossk]

I’d recommend Empire by Hardt and Negri and some works by Stanislav Lem. Other than that, I’m not so sure.

[yourbuttocks]

Emu,

Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger

And Deviant, Coulter is a way better Polemicist than Hannity ever could be.

[Yanny]

I’ve heard Hannity’s book was pretty good actually. I might just go buy it tonight.

Has anyone here read Fast Food Nation?

I had no idea slaughterhouse workers were treated so badly.

NO more McDonalds for me. I already didn’t like them, but htis is the last straw.

I read an article in some newspaper a while back saying how bad Wal-Mart employees were treated :) Forced to work 2-3 extra hours a day without pay or be fired… forced to smile in your sleep…

but at the same time, they weren’t that bad, just weird.

[Blitzkrieg]

Hamlet
Othello
Bonfire Of The Vanities…absolutely hilarious!!
For history…THe Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote…IMO the best books on the Civil War ever written
and of course…Private Parts and Miss America by The King of All Media!!

[TG Moses VI]

Bonfire Of The Vanities… hmmm… what’s it about? :)

[yourbuttocks]

I’m adding Ann Coulter’s new book, Treason.

I was just quoting Falwell, but i put “don’t know what’s a differential equation” where it was “are not born-again christian”.
