A big thanks to Xunzian, “Red Queen” arrived a couple of days ago, and after reading the first 100 pages or so, it is good. It will sit next to the “selfish gene” as a companion. (Hopefully next time I write about genetics nd evolution, I will undertake a few less flights of fancy 
).
Thanks again people, and I’ll try some of the others later. And Thanks to Smears, who’s sent me some articles on Game theory - Christmas comes in Summer this year. 
“Red Queen” instantly gets 5 stars, and indeed, fits the selfish gene like a glove. A great read.
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins (and the sequel, The Secret history of the American Empire, though I’m only partway through it)
The War on Truth, 9/11, Disinformation and the anatomy of Terrorism - Nafeez Ahmed (very good book on 9/11 and the history of state sponsored terrorism)
The 9/11 Commission Report - Phillip Zelikow (obviously not the only author, but worth a read if only for a laugh, also makes a good doorstop/thing to throw at irritating pet/child)
Without Precedent, the Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission - Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton (not as revealing as you might hope, but pretty damning in places and there are a couple of stories in it that you won’t easily find elsewhere)
The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions - David Ray Griffin (probably the best academic critique of the Commission Report)
The Best Enemy Money Can Buy - Anthony Sutton (all about financial/technological support to the Soviet Union by American and other western corporations)
The Best Democracy Money Can Buy - Greg Palast (great title, not that brilliant a book)
The Dice Man/Return of the Dice Man - Luke Rhinehart (outstanding novel about philosophy, psychology and life)
Atomised - Houellebecq (precursor to Possibility of an Island)
Everything I ever wrote - someoneisatthedoor (publishing date TBC)
That one sounds good. I loikes a bit o’ economics I does.
And of course I’ll have
in hardback whenever it comes out.
Love Diceman. Read it about 5 times. If it’s a six, I’m gonna go downstairs and rape Arlene.
I haven’t read this yet, though I plan to…eventually…, but Foucault’s “Discipline and Punish” seems like a very interesting read.
Now, you’re just saying that to make yourself look studitious aren’t you… 
Anyway, give it a read than tell me if it’s worth it. Being English, I’m automatically suspicious of Frogs.
Here are the books for two classes which I’ll have to read in the next two months (I have 4 classes total):
Understanding Plato - David Melling (170 pages)
Aristotle: The Philosopher - J.L. Ackrill (155 pages)
Greek Philosophy: Thales To Aristotle - Reginald E. Allen (what a funny name…Reginald (438 pages))
The First Philosophers - Robin Waterfield (336 pages)
Epistemology - Richard Feldman (194)
Epistemology: An Anthology - Sosa and Kim (~600 pages)
so…I wouldn’t hold your breath if I was you. FYI, the person who suggested that book to me was a Lybian professor of Sociology.
Lybian…? LYBIAN !!! OMG. It’ll blow up in my hands or something.
(Just kidding)
Good luck with your course xzc, sounds like you’ve got some serious reading (and thinking) ahead of you.
How about anything without a Hollywood ending?
Like you read.
That was very amusing.
Only user manuals.
I’m using you, ain’t I?
What’s there to read in Turkey?
Bating suggestions?
How to burn down libraries?
Fire and destruction?
Maybe a good recipe for Baklava.
What’s there to read in China?
The Little Red Book?
There’s also the book that claims that small dicks are better than large ones.
That will comfort you.
I despise women. Still doesn’t negate my positions though.
Maybe if you claim that I hate dogs, as well, because I have used them as examples of inferior minds, you can estalbish a point.
I also think size does matter. I guess this means I have a long shlong dangling between my legs.
Wanna suck it?
Hahaha, you’re bringing up the size of your penis as an argument on a philosophy forum. You have yet again managed to propel yourself forward into new realms of ludicrousness.
