I will put something here when I have settled on "who I am", until then I am a collection of likes/dislikes and frothing hatreds.

Uri Gordon: Anarchy Alive! (Paperback, 2007, Pluto Press) 3 stars

Anarchist politics are at the heart of today’s most vibrant and radical social movements. From …

A good introduction to not only what anarchism is but some of the ideas they have. As it is a bit older it doesn't deal in some specific anarchisms like Black anarchism or trans anarchism but with that aside a worthy addition to any library.

Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century (2007) 4 stars

A very interesting but unfortunately Western biased look at 20th century music. There is a bit at the back where the author does spend a few pages talking about not European/American music but it is an afterthought. That being said, the material on European and American music in the 20th century is fascinating and highly recommended. The added musical recommendations will also keep you busy for the foreseeable future.
