Post any books u might know usefull..

[exial]

such as books that might help in our evolution as human species..

[Rasta_Man]

Read Mark Twain's "Letters From Earth". I just started reading it and its already a great book. Its takes a intresting look into human nature and of our world from a 3rd person view. Also puts a nice twist on the Bible.

[itismesaj]

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" It reenforces Teddy Roosevelt's saying, "If you turn your back on history, then it is doomed to repeat itself.

[magicalmerf]

Hahaha i love the book animal farm. Dammmm those pigs!!!

[A Deo et Rege]

One of my personal favorites The Spirit of Laws by Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu.

[exial]

the secret of the soul.
by william buhlman

quantom physics an relativity

[itismesaj]

Yes merf... damn those pigs... :P

[Demons_Eye]

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. It will set you free from the things holding you back in your own mind.

[causticpunk]

Hey i Know heaps of books heres some:
The Alchemist - Paulo Cohelo
The Celestine Prophecy - ?
The Series of books by Carlos Castaneda but the best one is "The Art of Dreaming"

[Rasta_Man]

The Bible, Yes I think everyone needs to read this at one point or another to truely see all the backwardsness of religion.

[causticpunk]

i agree with rasta man
anyone second that

[Demons_Eye]

I second that. but then you should also read the muslim quaran and the jewish torah, the old testimant encompasses both.

[Rasta_Man]

Also read The Gilgamesh Epic, This is ancient Babylonian And Assyrian texts from 2700 BC to 2500 BC, older than the Bible, and the Bible copies its own stories from this book.

[exial]

I got this to fucking say:

For all those intellectuals who read books about death/spiritual and quantom mechanics/quantom physics/and einsteins works. they need to stop bickerin about anarchy and start talkin about some real shit.(u know wat i meen)
i meen we can talk about anarchy till our ears bleed the fact is in "our" lifetime we [U]will[U] not experience true chaos and freedom. We live in a world that is governed with laws. the meening of anarchy is debated to this day: true believers know this but most will say it is freedom others chaos others a world with no laws. premature revolutions get destroyed before they even start, the world has become.how do i put it (FUCKED). We rely on others to survive. We wear clothes others have made. eat food others have grown. We are categorized into one big thriving society that has no room for a inividual. Picture this everyone is striving to be "normal" if someone is different they are categorized as wierd. if others develop senses that we have no idea about we stick them in institutional homes and categorize them as crazy. everyday we turn on the tv we are willingly allowing the system to brainwash us. it i sad. there is truth in what i say. the world has lost its soul.
we are raping the earth which gave us life. And we support the system. We created the system. Its our job to recognize it for what it is: It has evolved beyond our grasp. enviormentalist groups are called "tree huggers" by the media to discourage any sort of revolution. those ppl who stand and protect the earth has my utmost respect. for we are lost.

[Basarab]

I think one of the best books to ever read is einsteins theory of relativity...especially when you're stoned...that shit is trippy.

[i get bored]

another George Orwell book - 1984
to kill a mocking bird, cant remember the author
the pearl, Steinbeck

[superflysuperwhite]

to kill a mocking bird sucks and so doesnt the pearl


i forget the author but "everything you know about religion is a lie" it has a picture of two five year olds smokeing a joint during a jamacin mass

[huffman0]

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" It reenforces Teddy Roosevelt's saying, "If you turn your back on history, then it is doomed to repeat itself.

Four legs good, two legs better!

Also another good one is Lord of The Flies by Golding

[i get bored]

lord of the flies is amazing

The origin of consciousness and the breakdown of the bicameral mind by Julian Jaynes

Nation of Rebels-Why counterculture became consumer culture by Joseph Heath & Andrew

Where we Stand-Class Matters by Bell Hooks

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa puff by Chuck Klosterman

How To Become An Alpha Male by John Alexander

[Silver_Rose]

Everybody Poos. Great read, looking it up. Especially if you can actually extract a metaphor out of it,

[exial]

Read Mark Twain's "Letters From Earth". I just started reading it and its already a great book. Its takes a intresting look into human nature and of our world from a 3rd person view. Also puts a nice twist on the Bible.

[x-Shadow-x]

The best book i think would be "Cat In The Hat". Best book ever, and its prety challenging =P

[Rapture2012]

1984 FTW good ass book...makes you think

[degenerate]

Hey, i know im new to this so you probably don't respect me, but:

1. Oryx and Crake by Atwood: brilliant novel about human extinction, set in the future, where corprocracy is king and everything is bioengineered..

2. On the Beach by Nevil Shute: As the world lays ravaged by a nucleur WWIII, australia, who did not participate or be bombed, waits for death to come slowly by means of radioactive nucleur winds.

3.The Plague, Camus: A classic

4. The Road by Cormac McCarthy: bleak, wonderful story.

5. The Cloud Atlas

And read John Stuart Mill...


that should help you hibernate this winter. -caroline

[DR.gonzo8992]

A really good book i think everyone should read is Scar Tissue. Its an autobiography from the main singer of Red Hot Chile Peppers and its all about his life. Very interesting

[A Deo et Rege]

I know this is probably going out on a limb, but I would suggest reading the U.S. Constitution because those who don't know their rights will lose their rights--How can you realize you lost something that you never knew had.

.../\

[degenerate]

who wouldnt have read the constitution? i mean, this is a subversive board...youd hope people would have their shit together at least a little, man.

[exial]

The giving tree...lol...and we call ourself rebels.

[Palm3R]

"Why Do Men Have Nipples" is actually a really cool book. it might sound kinda dumb, but it's got an ass ton of scientific anatomy related (and other misc.) questions (yes, including the one on the title) and they're really specific about most of 'em. there's helpful and interesting questions, if you haven't heard of it, look it up...

[Demons_Eye]

the shining

[Bangaladesh]

Agreed With orwell's animal farm! Awesome novel.

Also the Satanic Bible, figured might aswell investigate the ideals behind it, well worth a read.

I;m surpirsed that no one's mention Ishmael by Dainel Quinn. It's a fascinating book that would convernt anyone to rebel aginst something in today society

[irapedoodlebops]

try the apochrypha. its the books vetod from the bible. kinda hard to find but worth looking for.

[PIE!]

hey to the fuckbag who said to read the 1960/1970 anarchist cookbook, you have obviously not read anything more worthwile or alternative visual than something in between "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr.Seuss and "Fight Club" by Chuck Palanhuik. Ok, yes the site is anarchistcookbook.com, but we're talking influential and truly different views on people rather than those who want to fuck shit up for some kicks.

[PIE!]

1) obviously you are getting pissed off at what i said by responding the way you did
2)thats not very good and I bet you spent two hours on it to boot.
3)read real material. Palm3r can verify. and, you're a craphead. good day :)

[ww3sabitur]

lol u gana have to try harder

[rage420]

ok uhm...instead of talking a lot of useless shit considering (and im guessing here) that a majority of you never have and never will meet each other in real person...let get back on topic and talk about books........

i dunno if any1 has heard of it, but a really good book(despite the controversey of the amount of truth in iit) is the book a million little pieces by james frey, and also...its easy reading grammatically, but the content is...well...just read a child called it by dave pelzer....its fuckin twisted....
both are at least based on true stories(there has been controversey over the first one but w/e just read it)

[PIE!]

i dont need to. i know i did

[Rapture2012]

Third Reich by hitler

[exial]

why would you ever want to read a book about a man who stood for the purpose of making the world a One World Goverment. I believe Adolf Hitler and Bush have the same Twisted mentality.

The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav
It takes a deep look at Quantom Physics from a spiritual point of view.

[ww3sabitur]

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond - How societies got to be where they are today and why others failed in relation to geographic location and industrialism.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair - a very well written muckraking novel

[ww3sabitur]

"HERE IS A SITE TO LOCATE IT FROM "http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/twainlfe.htm"

Yes! Everyone should read Mark Twain's Letters From The Earth

Also check out Jeffrey Sack's End Of Poverty

[Serafimx]

As far as fiction goes,
read anything by H.P. Lovecraft.

As for information... read up on some programming languages. I'm tired of people saying... "Pls PLS PLS tel me hOw to haxxor!!! I wnt to know how to be 1337!! plS!

[J87]

communist manifesto
aldus huxley's brave new world.

A lot of greek-mythology is really interesting.

True that, Ive been reading Plato's Laws and its really interesting. I havnt finished them but, Its a conversation about civilization between 3 people.

[PIE!]

I agree with all of the books posted, but i really gotta read that letters from earth one that rasta man said.

[scrag]

[PIE!]

Meh. I made soap reading fight club :p

[J87]

[exial]

Try reading books on Einsteins theorys and beliefs. You will see the Greatest mind in history held a belief that bordered on Science and Religion.

[Kasnia]

Now I want to write a book. And if I do, I hope that someone would list it on here. Lol. =P

[exial]

i once tried writing a story..the results were amazing, i ended up with 8 pages of a story that seemed soo lost to anything real that i gave it up as fantasy. But it was amazing how it seemed that writing a story seemed so natural. I wrote without even thinking. Try it..what can it hurt.

[freetibet]

how about C.S. Lewis?

mere christianity, the screwtape letters, etc etc

or if you just read the lyrics from rage against the machine it's practically a book lol

i find it easier to get the message of a song when i read the lyrics

[WhitePride2008]

Let's not forget Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Damned nice reading.

[Twisted420]

Thats 1000+ pages...im at like page...8? Its still sitting on my bed..been there for a few weeks...it's not the size of the book that i dont like...i just dont really get immersed in a book with the writing style of Ayn Rands..

If nothing else, they give hope and inspiration in trying times. Some people need it more than others.

Check these shits out.....

"Everything You Know Is Wrong - The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies" by:Tons of different authors and theorists.......This is truly a great read....One of my personal favs.

"The Power of your Supermind" - by:Vernon Howard - No, this isn't a book of magic tricks that will teach you how to levitate or anything, but I believe more people should try applying these techniques.

"Long, Hard, Road out of Hell" - by:Mar**** Manson, Neil Strauss - Although at times Manson is often over-rated and mainstream this book is kind of an eye opener, not just to let you know who he is, but how dirty the world actually is...I think everyone should read this.

I've been wanting to read his books. (I'm pretty sure he has more than one.) Granted, I'm a fan of his music, but that's not why. He is a very intelligent man. My mom doesn't like his music at all, but said that she will watch any interview that he's in.

I'm currently reading this book, and it's interesting to say the least.

[troyjanman]

Also the other "bibles" or religious beliefs just to show how similar they pretty much all are. Such as, The Quran, Cabala, Torah etc...
Just read as a story not as religion. Then you can decide for yourself whether it is true or not.

[exial]

Someone on this thread posted the book "ishmael" about the talking gorilla. i read the book and i have to say it's eye opening. Its as if living in present day civilaztion has blocked us from really seeing wat is hapening in the world, and the whole book the gorilla is teaching the modern human about the takers (us) and the leavers (the people who live off the land). The gorilla is explaining that there is a law we humans are breaking. And if we continue to break that law we will see the mistake. its like the law of gravity. U jump off a 30,000 foot building and u go downward. and u keep going downward breaking this law and if ur continuing to break the law u will soon hit bottom. ("the crashing impact made from a height of 30,000 feet.") if we dont stop breaking this law we will soon feel the impact, "jus cuz we dont know we are breaking it, that doesnt stop the law from taking effect." this book is about this law and how we can fix it.
a revolutionary book.
