BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Thread started by braydon at 05.12.10 - 10:16 pm

I'll go first.

I attended a lecture by Richard Stallman back in 2007, and have since then have dedicated much of my time and work towards free software, free as in freedom. I left behind a world of graphic design that was dominated by proprietary software, and was welcomed into a world as a web developer in a free software world. I've learned an huge amount in the last 4 years.

At the lecture I bought a book that he wrote called "Free Software, Free Society" which he signed. I recommend it to everyone, even if you have no interest in software. You use a computer, and it's important to understand the real benefits free software brings to communities.

"Story of the Eye"

Bataille is a fascinating writer...Story of the Eye is great. Have you read Erotism?
I know it's kinda typical but I'm just finishing David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries right now, and I have to say...as much as I thought it was going to be about cycling around the globe, it was not as much about that as it was a pretty awesome travelogue and pop culture critique.

I am enjoying BikeSnobNYC's book. It is much different from his daily blog and in a good way.

The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God
by Etgar Keret

a collection of short stories that are incredible. For fans of Hemingway and kafka. The movie Wristcutters was based on one of his stories, Kneller's Happy Campers.

BIKE CULT! by Dave Perry, an amazing read about everything bike from CMAS to Tour d' France, from Velopeds & Penny Farthings to Recumbant HPVs & Artcycles.



The only bummer is that it is out of print
I borrowed on from LAPL and it was GREAT!

book


I haven't read this book yet, but I already know I recommend it. The author explains his perspective and theory behind the book in the below program, starting at the halfway mark. I think everybody should watch it, because it is an extremely thoughtful and intelligent argument for something that people dismiss way too easily: violent action against state oppression.

David Baldacci - The Simple Truth Pictures, Images and Photos

A real eye opener involving the upper-echelons of power and the seedy ways they got there.

Just finished "Just Kids" by Patti Smith about her life with artist/photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Brilliant book.
I also second Foldie's recommendation of BikeSnobNYC's book. It's REALLY great.

This book has made it's rounds among my friends and was recommended to me as well.

If you're into cyberpunk dystopias, where the hot drugs are feathers that you tickle on the back of your throat sending you a virtual world, then this one's for you! It has an over arching mystery and a lot of characters that you'll be intrigued by. Noon has also written a sequel to this book which is actually pretty great too -- it's called Pollen.

I just finished "First As Tragedy, Then As Farce" by Slavoj Zizek, a socio-philosophical look at 9/11, Bush, Obama, and the current economic crisis.

I also recommend "The Grass Harp" by Truman Capote. Its a moving short novel about non-conformity.
