Full List
And still growing; line-through I’ve already read.
Much of this list is borrowed from the list at the
Rage Against the Machine Website, but every time I read through the list I add
randomly, books that I’ve read or acquired. Some are fiction, some are
fictitious satire, some are fictitious commentary, and others are everything
else. It might be easier to download the North American library database, but
this has a personal touch to it. The ones I’ve read are obviously the most recommended,
as I’m always liking a good discussion about a book. Enjoy!
