Re: Atlas Shrugged
well lets see, sitting on my desk currently i have the latest issue of the New Yorker, Scientific American and Foreign Affairs magazines as well as the winter publication of the "Journal of international affairs" from columbia university, as far as books I'm trying to finish a book called "Leviathan" by Thomas hobbs and "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.
Favorites, I don't think i have any, but i enjoyed "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, "The Revolution a Manifesto" by Ron Paul, "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein, "Blackwater" by Jeremy Scahill , "Ghost Wars " by steve coll and other authors such as Noam Chomsky, Chalmers Johnson, Peter Schiff, Charles Darwin, James Madison.
My favorite fiction author is Dean Koontz.
So yea, I doubt your going to find anything there that isn't boring, I do disagree with Rawr though about "Brave New World", its poorly written but I still thought the story was interesting, mainly because of how strange it was, sort of like "Animal Farm", but meh whatever.

Quit reading stuff from social scientists. They're bad people. If you want to learn how the world works, or the financial system, it's better to read books by people who actually have worked or do work on that level and are obviously not doing it to make more money. People like Leon Levy who write because they've worked their whole life and no one has understood them and they write because they want to explain their life story to someone who does.

If you really want to read some ---- read The Categorical Imperative then re read it 15 times and see if you can understand exactly what it is Kant is trying to say from the primary source, then read Aristotle, learn that Kant thinks he got most of his ideas from Aristotle and try to figure out how the ---- he even thinks that.
