4: Books Terry DOES NOT LIKE (That He Has Read From Cover-to-Cover)

THIS LIST OF BOOKS IS IN THE ORDER TERRY HAS READ THEM – THE MOST RECENTLY READ IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, AND BOOKS TERRY READ IN HIS HIGH SCHOOL YEARS ARE AT THE BOTTOM. THESE ARE ALL BOOKS TERRY DOES NOT CURRENTLY “LIKE” (FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER):

*

*Naked Lunch (The Restored Text) [by William S. Burroughs, edited by James Grauerholz and Barry Miles]

*The Theory of Moral Sentiments [by Adam Smith] [While this book shows Adam Smith was never the champion of selfishness some of his fanboys assume he was, Terry still disliked the book overall (though Terry did enjoy some parts, such as when Mr. Smith was harshly criticizing Bernard Mandeville)]

*The Lenin Anthology [a collection of excerpts by Vladimir Lenin, edited by Robert C. Tucker]

*“Left-Wing” Communism: An Infantile Disorder [by Vladimir Lenin]

*The State and Revolution: The Marxist Theory of the State and the Tasks of the Proletariat in the Revolution [by Vladimir Lenin]

*The Hellbound Heart [by Clive Barker]

*The Unconscious Civilization [by John Ralston Saul]

*Che Guevara Speaks [a collection of Che Guevara’s writings]

*Mein Kampf [by Adolf Hitler]

*The Antichrist [by Friedrich Nietzsche]

*The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion [by a fabricator(s)]

*The Turner Diaries [by William Luther Pierce – aka “Andrew Macdonald”]

*The Lost Art of Good Conversation: A Mindful Way to Connect with Others and Enrich Everyday Life [by Sakyong Mipham]

*The Bankers: The Next Generation [by Martin Mayer]

*Karl Marx [by Karl Korsch]

*Tropic of Cancer [by Henry Miller]

*Face the Music: A Life Exposed [by Paul Stanley]

*The Prince [by Niccolò Machiavelli]

*Statism and Anarchy [by Mikhail Bakunin, edited by J. Frank Harrison]

*The Crisis of Democracy: On the Governability of Democracies [a report by Michel Crozier, Samuel P. Huntington, and Joji Watanuki for the Trilateral Commission]

*Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 [by Karl Marx]

*Grass: The Paged Experience [a book based on the documentary by Ron Mann]

*Portnoy’s Complaint [by Philip Roth]

*The History of Last Night’s Dream: Discovering the Hidden Path to the Soul [by Rodger Kamenetz]

*The Anarchists [by James Joll]

*The Satanic Bible [by Anton LaVey]

*Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era [by Zbigniew Brzezinski]

*Endgame (Volumes I-II) [by Derrick Jensen] [For a while, Terry was an anarcho-primitivist – after being exposed to Mr. Jensen’s work. So Terry will always feel a degree of sentimentality for the two volumes of Endgame – and the anarcho-primitivist “critique of civilization”, which shook Terry out of many years of political apathy. But when Terry later embraced anarcho-communism – he was no longer anti-civilization. Anarcho-communists are pro-civilization!]

*Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs [by John Lydon – aka “Johnny Rotten”]

*How to Make Love Like a Pornstar: A Cautionary Tale [by Neil Strauss and Jenna Jameson]

*The Anglo-American Establishment: From Rhodes to Cliveden [by Carroll Quigley]

*The Two Koreas: A Contemporary History [by Don Oberdorfer]

*Necronomicon Spellbook [“edited” by “Simon”]

*The Nostradamus Code [by David Ovason]

*Gods of the New Millennium [by Alan F. Alford]

*Necronomicon [aka the “Simon Necronomicon”] [“edited” by “Simon”]

*Prince of Darkness: Antichrist and the New World Order [by Grant R. Jeffrey] [To Mr. Jeffrey’s credit, he wasn’t an anti-Semite (and Terry wasn’t either, which seems typical for many believers in the “New World Order” conspiracy theory). But Mr. Jeffrey was a first-rate idiot, and this is the most ahistorical (and embarrassing) book Terry has ever read – as you would expect from a book about Bible prophecy that examines geopolitics through an evangelical Christian lens. Unfortunately for Terry, when he was a teenager – Terry thought “If it’s in a non-fiction book, it must be true!”]
