What is Anarchism? by Alexander Berkman
Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky
and... Derailing Democracy by David McGowan

Tend to read the first book before bead, the second book in school with my off-time and the last in the bathroom. Just a little ecclectic..heh. Berkman's book is probably the most down to earth FAQ book I've ever read, great so far. Chomsky is an incredible information of history and philosophy detailing the encounters of America's imperialism. And McGowan has a great fact-book of quotes and statistics about the United State's records in various realms including Human rights, prison population, and military records.

I see I am not the only polygamous reader ;)

I have thought about reading getting that book by Berkman myself - I certainly shall now after that glowing review :) Have you ever read anything by Peter Kropotkin? I recently bought Mutual Aid and Fields, Factories and Workshops by him, although I have not read them yet. Alas, although I am a vouracious reader of books I am an even more voracious buyer of them so my unread list is ever expanding.

I'm taking some classes this summer, and I'm starting my MA next spring, so I'm reading up early. I'm about to order "Der Besuch der alten Dame," by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, and something by Peter Handke, either "Publikumsbeschimpfung" or "Kaspar." For English, I'm ordering Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" (I've always wanted to read it), and some other contemporary works from the reading list.

Try asking for Samuel Becket's "Waiting For Godot." Stoppard wrote "The Real Inspector Hound."

Personally, I'm making my way though "The First Poets" by Micheal Schmidt, about early Greek poetry.

Sorry, I was thinking about "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." Last semester, I read the drama and attended the university's production, so I've still got it on the brain.
