Thread: Recommended Reading

Specially for Mr Ware - de Cameron is a book! Famous in fact.

But if you are interested in Hague's greatest achievement, here is another recommendation - 'Pitt the Younger'.

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill.

It just keeps getting more and more relevant.

Notes from a Small Island. Bill Bryson.

To know what is wrong with Britain (eg litter, eyesore architecture), but also what is right, it is useful to see the country through the eyes of an outsider. This book is about the impression gained from a trip around Great Britain by public transport. Easy reading.

The Architecture of Happiness. Alain de Botton.

One of the most significant influences on the quality of life is the close environment; eg how polite people are, how clean the streets are, and how the place looks. A good looking building doesn't cost more (or at least not much more) than an ugly one. So why are our cities disfigured by eyesores? Disastrous architects, like disastrous politicians, are frequently well meaning, but they forget about human nature while they draw up their grandiose plans. This book gives an insight INTO phpbb_the mind of the architect. Ultimately of course, the ugly built environment is the fault of politicians, because they gave the planning permission.

This book isn't published until May, but I have been impressed by excerpts published in the Sunday Telegraph magazine. Apparently there will be a TV series on More4 starting on May 1st.

Wild Swans. Jung Chang

With the rise of China, it is increasingly useful to have an insight INTO phpbb_the history of that country. Jung Chang gives a first hand account of life under Mao's tyranny. She describes some of the madness of Mao eg he ordered people to make steel! Of course the Chinese Communist party is still in power (although they have dumped the economic doctrines of Marxism), and China is still a tyranny. Mao is still their icon.

Made in Japan. Akio Morita

A fascinating history of Sony's part in Japan's rise as an economic power after WW2. How Japan's reputation was transformed from that of a producer of low tech, poor quality goods, to that of a producer of high quality consumer electronics. An interesting lesson in economics.

I collected and uploaded to one folder forty pdf government docs relating to Information Operations closely aligned with PSYOPs.

Okies, they are US govt. docs ... sure some of you will be interested.

On the site itself are many revealing docs on PSYOPs and GMOs.

Link for the I.O. docs

I am on the last few pages of The Tainted Source by John Laughland.
It is one of the best books I have ever read and is very inspiring and thought provoking. It is unfortunately quite intellectual in its style, which has probably limited its audience. From a marketing point of view it also has a bad title and an awful cover. It is also a little out of date, having been written some time before the introduction of the euro as a paper currency.
Nevertheless, I can strongly recommend it.

interesting book, get buy this, when it comes out.

Anything with Garfield in it.

Dilbert.

Pratchett.

Life's worrying enough - why read things that won't make you smile?

I read this about 10 years ago and whilst still owning it don't have easy access to read it again, sorry. However from my recollection this book is very worth reading by all UKIP supporters not because of the communist aspect but because of references to infiltration, fellow travellers, vote rigging, rigging of important elected post allocations, undermining of opponents to the leadership (except the fellow travelling members) and etc. I am necessarily underselling it because I haven't looked at it for several years.
