"The Butcher's Tale" A book for my German History class. I wasn't going to read it, but it's one of the best books assigned to me in any college class.
"The Irresistible Revolution: Living Life As An Ordinary Radical" by: Shane Claiborne Reading on the light rail "It's a beautiful thing when folks in poverty are no longer just a missions project but become genuine friends and family with whom we laugh, cry, dream and struggle.."
From The Road with Cormac McCarthy (he also wrote 'No Country For Old Men' amongst other things) I'm pretty much finished it now.... I loved it at the start but felt it dragged it a bit and never really developed.
This is from "I Wrote This For You". It's full of poems, and will definitely give you chills. I love it. Got it for Christmas, and finished it in one sitting. It made me laugh, it made me smile and it made me cry. I love it.
The Enemy of the People by Henrick Ibsen "the majority is never right..." Its amazing how a play written in 1882 by a Norwegian playwright can hold so many truths about current public knowledge
SteamDrunks: 101 Steampunk Cocktails and Mixed Drinks. I don't drink and I'm not very much into Steampunk stuff, but my friend told me this was a hilarious book, and she was right. I would suggest it. "Beat the yolks like they're a disobedient stablehand..." I love that.
This is from one of my favorite texts: Law and Literature (3rd edition) by Judge Richard A. Posner. This is from a chapter called "Literary Indictments of Legal Injustice.
