Sophie Hedge sophiehedg0948 — Getting a little tired of this new "contemporary" or "modern" or whatever they are calling it style in which the book is organized around chapters that read like short stories. That said, what great stories these are!!! Spanning many decades, and many characters, but all wrapped around two central characters...loosely themed on the music industry, and the changes over time in how music is perceived, distributed, and sold. And her writing is smooth as silk. Great read.

Bradley Krebs bradleykrebs — This short novel was more cerebral than your average young-adult novel. I liked it a lot.

Abhishek Tripathi enggabhi2003 — A collection of essays from the last 30 years that inspire me during my morning commute to stand up to Power and Wealth and fight for Liberty. Then I show up at work and answer phones and make copies. Awesome. Now that I finished it, I can say that I love Howard Zinn more than I did before reading this book (which was a lot). I particularly like this quote from his essay "The Problem is Civil Disobedience": It's a strange thing, we think that the law brings order. Law doesn't. How do we know that law does not bring order? Look around us. We live under the rule of law. Notice how much order we have? People say we have to worry about civil disobedience because it will lead to anarchy. Take a look at the present world in which the rule of law obtains. This is the closest to what is called anarchy in the popular mind--confusion, chaos, international banditry. The only order that is really worth anything does not come through the enforcement of law, it comes through the establishment of a society which is just and in which harmonious relationships are established and in which you need a minimum of regulation to create decent sets of arrangements among people. But the order based on law and the force of law is the order of the totalitarian state, and it inevitably leads either to total injustice or to rebellion--eventually, in other words, to very great disorder. I also learned a lot about the First Amendment, which I knew embarrassingly little about before. It's funny that we all take "free speech" idea so literally, because the way the First Amendment has been interpreted has to do with the government's inability to prevent you from saying things, and little to do with protecting you once you've said things. Because the way it is, once you've said things, all bets are off. Good to know. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for a little pick-me-up. Most of the essays are transcripts from speeches Zinn gave so they are extremely readable and go pretty quickly.
