    Any Naomi Klein fans on the board? (No logo)
    Or Joel Bakan? (The Corporation).
    Orwell? 1984...
    Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451??

    :D
    The girls at work have been talking about "Lost" tv program again :(:( Its depressing. I can't see the attraction to any of those programs! :(

    :D

    Everytime I try to read No Logo, I get bogged down in it. Maybe its my attention span of a goldfish, maybe its her style of writing but I expected alot more from it!

    Not a fan of the writer as such, but on my "essential reading" list all the same :)

    If you liked it, you might want to give "Boohoo: A Dot Com Story from Concept to Catastrophe" a try ;)

    I really enjoyed it. (no logo). I have Fences and Windows on my to-read pile too. (also N Klein).
    I've read Enron, the rise and fall (loren Fox) recently and do mean to read about the dotcom boom too.. too many on the to-read pile yet to order anymore for the moment though! :D
    The Corporation by Joel Bakan is excellent.. if you can bear with him for the first chapter or two, where he goes through the history of the corporation!
    I suscribed to "New Internationalist" recently too.. so will get a more broad range of related topics (and up to date) covered in that I'd imagine!

    IT's not too bad. I got through it even though I would never normally read a book about politics or economics. I think it is written in fairly simple terms so it is accessible to a wider range of people. I still prefer fiction though, that's for sure.

    Yes, No Logo is currently somewhere inside that great mountain of books on my desk that is my 'to read' pile. Some day I will read them all...

    :eek: :eek: I wrote my username wrong when I was signing in, and ended up posting as someone else :eek: :eek:

    wierdly, my own password worked though, so I never noticed...

    Well it doesn't look like this person posts very much on boards (or at all...) anyway, so maybe she'll never notice :rolleyes:
