I just picked up three books recently at B&N, and I felt like sharing with the world what I got so as to give a bit of insight into how I think and what I think about. So here goes:
1. Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky
2. Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-semitism and the Abuse of History by Norman Finkelstein
3. And the book I’m actually reading at the moment: Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions 🙂
I read some of Chomsky’s material on his web site; I am quite interested.It would seem that the man has many practical ideas about the state of our country, and I was particularly impressed by the fact that he does not write articles of attack. His dedication to the facts is perhaps his most impressive attribute. While I’ve not yet read enough of him to label myself a supporter, I am, thus far, impressed.
