GATEWAY TO THE VAST REALMS
Recommended Readings from Literature to Revolution
http://www.bopsecrets.org/gateway
"Reading is the only remaining gateway to the vast
realms of pre-spectacle experience." (Guy Debord)
Out of his wide-ranging reading over the last five decades, Ken Knabb has
picked the books that he recommends most enthusiastically -- in classic and
modern literature, religion and philosophy, science and psychology, humor
and comics, history and revolution.
Over 500 books are listed, each followed with brief remarks on why you might
want to read it, which translations are most reliable, other works by or
about the same author, etc.
There are also several appendixes featuring children's books, "desert
island" books, other lists of great books, and excerpts from some of the
works recommended.
Knabb's list should have something of interest for readers of all levels and
tastes, but it will probably be most useful to the many people in this
increasingly illiterate age who have read few or none of these works --
helping them to start exploring the "vast realms" for themselves.
