I visited the commie bookstore in town today and I picked up a copy of Manufacturing Consent because it seemed appropriate for the current times. I also got a copy of Motorcycle Diaries.

On the way home I also passed a Falun Gong stand. They were doing some dance.

I'm in the middle of Against Empire by Parenti. It's good, but I enjoyed Blackshirts and Reds more. Parenti is a great writer, and he is easy to understand, so I will continue to read his stuff. As for novels, I ordered 2001: A Space Odyssey not too long ago and will try to read it sometimes. I have manufacturing consent sitting on my bookshelf, plus some others from Chomsky I haven't read yet. I bought them during a short anarchist phase I had and grew out of very quickly after reading Lenin's stuff. Often, I buy books and end up never reading them. Uhh I should stop doing that and download them illegally instead.
