Wish list.
As if I didn't have enough books to read and finish
already...
For the record, here is my
current book Wish List (as noted by Bookpedia.) I can't say it's been updated to
fully reflect the extent of my wishes -- there are a few books from the Times
Notable 100 books of the year that I've been meaning to throw up here -- but
I'll get around to that later. As it stands now,
though:
Antonin Artaud:
Selected Writings Antonin Artaud, Susan
Sontag
Illuminations
Walter
Benjamin
Reflections
Walter Benjamin
Ask the
Dust John
Fante
A Woman Kneeling in the Big
City Elizabeth
Macklin
Understanding
Jihad David
Cook
The Far Enemy: Why Jihad Went
Global Fawaz A.
Gerges
Off Center: The Republican
Revolution and the Erosion of American Democracy
Jacob S. Hacker and Paul
Pierson
Before the Storm: Barry
Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American
Consensus Rick
Perlstein
The Conservative
Intellectual Movement in America George H.
Nash
Leo Strauss and the American
Right Shadia B.
Drury
The Working Poor: Invisible in
America David K.
Shipler
Perfectly Legal: The Covert
Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich -- and Cheat Everybody
Else David Cay
Johnston
Freethinkers: A History of
American Secularism Susan
Jacoby
Updates surely to
come.
I am backlogged about two years on the books I've
been meaning to finish, so this is why these books are on my "wish list". Even
though I began a campaign to only buy more books after I've finished the ones I
have, it's too tempting -- human knowledge is too appealing to me. Ach,
well.
