August 30, 201412 yr Just finished Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov...amazing book if you are able to get through how disturbing it is.
January 26, 201511 yr I have just finished reading 'This Changes Everything: Capitalism versus the Climate'. Possibly the best non-fiction I've ever read and I recommend to all.
January 26, 201511 yr Now on to Guantanamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi which is certain to be a disturbing read. Since 2002, Mohamedou Ould Slahi has been imprisoned at the detainee camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In all these years, the United States has never charged him with a crime. Although he was ordered to be released by a federal judge, the U.S. government fought that decision, and there is no sign that the United States plans to let him go. Three years into his captivity Slahi began a diary, recounting his life before he disappeared into U.S. custody and daily life as a detainee. His diary is not merely a vivid record of a miscarriage of justice, but a deeply personal memoir - terrifying, darkly humorous, and surprisingly gracious. Published now for the first time, Guantánamo Diary is a document of immense historical importance.
January 26, 201511 yr I have just finished reading 'This Changes Everything: Capitalism versus the Climate'. Possibly the best non-fiction I've ever read and I recommend to all. I will have to read this since I just finished the book "Climate Capitalism" Such an important topic and one of my areas of study at my university. Glad you liked that one!
