this is exactly the moment when you need a bunch of armed struggle memoirs.

 

[chilango]

I second the Portugal one. Already have it though.

 

[imposs1904]

How the eff does Rooum ever get his Wildcat cartoons published and re-published?

Back in the day they were funny. (I haven't seen his recent stuff in years.)

I even had the Wildcat cartoon t- shirt.

I went a bit nuts and got more fiction than I'd anticipated. But I'm desperate for books right now.
Particularly excited about Jewish Noir and Don't Mourn, Balkanise!

I've been meaning to more reading about the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Balkan wars because I can't get enough of grim, depressing recent history it seems.

get a kindle app on your phone!

Or just scoop your eyes out with a spoon, as this is a cheaper and quicker way to turn yourself blind than trying to read a 500 page biography of Krushchev off a smarthpone screen.

I prefer reading on my phone to a tablet, real books are better obvs , but if I'm on the tube/bus/train, it's fine for reading via the phone.

[butchersapron]

I have - it's 75% off a list they give you - couple of good ones. Shanin is prob best value. Or Ramdin.

No free shipping on this offer either.

Blimey - it's not just one book either, get as many as you want.

 

[chilango]

Just received it. Disappointingly I have most on the list already that are of interest, but will look property later...

 

[chilango]

Anybody read either Bloch"s book on Marx or that Works to Win Marx biography?

 

[gawkrodger]

Just received it. Disappointingly I have most on the list already that are of interest, but will look property later...

in the same situation. Will get the Asad Haider book, but not sure if the others I'm considering are just because they are 75% off and not convinced I'll read them anytime soon (Municpal Dreams, the Sorkin and Extreme Cities)

 

[petee]

nothing in this lot for me.
bought The Beach Beneath The Street at the last sale, a few weeks ago.

 

[chilango]

Ended up ordering these...

Reading that John Rees The Leveller Revolution at the moment. Interesting stuff, but his swapiness really shines through every fucking paragraph almost. Importance of "the paper", meetings in pubs, Tower Hamlets being the centre of the universe etc.
