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 CHILDHOOD ARE AT THE VERY BOTTOM. MOST OF THE BOOKS TERRY HAS READ IN THE LAST FEW DECADES ARE LISTED. HOWEVER, TERRY HAS NOT BOTHERED TO LIST THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE BOOKS HE READ IN HIS CHILDHOOD AND TEENAGE YEARS. ALSO, TERRY OPPOSES ALL STATES – INCLUDING ALL LIBERAL-DEMOCRACIES, AND ALL MARXIST STATES (EVEN THOUGH TERRY RECOMMENDS EVERYONE READ KARL MARX’S ANALYSIS OF CAPITALISM – IN THE THREE VOLUMES OF CAPITAL). TERRY SAYS EVEN THE MOST HUMANE STATE WILL STILL BE BRUTAL AND OPPRESSIVE (THAT IS THE ANARCHIST STANCE). ANY BOOK ON THIS LIST – IS A BOOK TERRY HOPES YOU WILL READ SOMEDAY:

*

*The Drowned and the Saved [by Primo Levi, translated by Raymond Rosenthal]

*The T in LGBT: Everything You Need to Know About Being Trans [by Jamie Raines]

*Means and Ends: The Revolutionary Practice of Anarchism in Europe and the United States [by Zoe Baker] [This GREAT book is one Terry highly recommends for people who know nothing, or only know very little, about “anarchism”. Well, the book’s main focus is on the anarchist critique of “the state”, the anarchist critique of capitalism, and what society should look like – mainly from anarcho-communist and anarcho-syndicalist perspectives (they being the main branches of “social anarchism”). The book also covers what these forms of “social anarchism” have looked like in practice – from attempted insurrections (one form of “propaganda of the deed”), to the failure of assassinations/bombings (another form of “propaganda of the deed”), the attempts at creating mass federations, etc. One thing Terry can say about Zoe Baker – she has a VERY IMPRESSIVE understanding of anarchist history, theory, and practice.]

*On Settler Colonialism in Canada: Lands & Peoples [edited by David BA MacDonald and Emily Grafton]

*The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins (Fifth Edition) [by John Pearson]

*Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning [by Peter Beinart] [To be clear, Beinart is Jewish – and anti-apartheid. And he’s clear that Israel is an apartheid state. So he’s an anti-Zionist, but is NOT a self-hating Jew.]

*Night [by Elie Wiesel, translated by Marion Wiesel] [If you view this book as non-fiction – you’ll probably have some major complaints over the fictionalized parts of the book. BUT when Terry views the book as a novel (and NOT a memoir) about the Holocaust (albeit one inspired by many real-life people and real-life events) – THAT is when Terry is able to properly appreciate the book.]

*Trade, Development and Foreign Debt: How Trade and Development Concentrate Economic Power in the Hands of Dominant Nations (New Edition aka Second Edition – Revised and Expanded) [by Michael Hudson] [This GREAT book is often damn difficult to read – because the works of countless economists (often stretching back centuries) are analyzed. Also analyzed, are criticisms by other economists of certain “well-known” aka “prominent” aka “influential” economists. As I said, Mr. Hudson’s book is a challenging read – but he convincingly explains how “laissez-faire” (aka free-trade) makes sure the Third World stays poor. BUT he adds that ONLY A LUCKY FEW developed countries WERE able to successfully industrialize – by relying on protectionist economic policies (as the USA had done in the past). So Mr. Hudson has way higher praise for the analysis of certain mercantilist economists and certain protectionist economists than he does for just about any liberal (aka “laissez-faire” aka free-trade) economists.]

*Bodies of Art, Bodies of Labour [by Kate Beaton]

*Zapatista Spring: Anatomy of a Rebel Water Project & the Lessons of International Solidarity [by Ramor Ryan] [The crux of this book, is that far-left activists from the developed World come from a VERY different place than people in the developing World – and the differences in lifestyle/upbringing between proletarians and peasants must always be kept front and centre in your mind (and MUST be respected). So it is a BIG mistake for far-leftists to assume that sharing similar politics with the far-left revolutionaries of the World means everyone’s in the same boat. For instance, the average indigenous peasant in Chiapas would gladly choose to live the (comparably wealthier/easier) lifestyle of a proletarian in the developed World, rather than continuing to engage in the backbreaking daily manual labours (and horrific poverty) that these peasants have always been forced to endure.]

*Zapatistas: Rebellion from the Grassroots to the Global [by Alex Khasnabish]

*Blankets [by Craig Thompson]

*Super Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire (Third Edition) [by Michael Hudson]

*The Mask Omnibus (Volumes 1-2) [by John Arcudi, Doug Mahnke, et al.]

*Orwell’s Roses [by Rebecca Solnit]

*The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness [by Michelle Alexander]

*John Lydon – Stories of Johnny: A Compendium of Thoughts on the Icon of an Era [edited by Rob Johnstone]

*Lucifer Rising: Sin, Devil Worship, & Rock ’n’ Roll [by Gavin Baddeley]

*The Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real (The Original Edition) [by Margery Williams, illustrated by William Nicholson]

*Dying to Be Seen: The Race to Save Medicare in Canada [by Cathy MacNeil] [To be clear, Ms MacNeil totally opposes the privatization of ANY aspect of healthcare – and advocates funding for medicare to be jacked up in Canada (largely through the redirection of tax dollars to less wasteful directions). She also wants medicare to be expanded (to include ALL expenses for nursing homes, ALL expenses for pharmacare, etc). And Terry wholeheartedly agrees with her.]

*Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk [by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain]

*Ebert’s Bigger Little Movie Glossary: A Greatly Expanded and Much Improved Compendium of Movie Clichés, Stereotypes, Obligatory Scenes, Hackneyed Formulas, Shopworn Conventions, and Outdated Archetypes [by Roger Ebert et al.]

*The Killer Inside Me [by Jim Thompson]

*A Horrible Experience of Unbearable Length: More Movies That Suck [a collection of movie reviews by Roger Ebert]

*A House in the Mountains: The Women Who Liberated Italy From Fascism [by Caroline Moorehead]

*A Train in Winter: An Extraordinary Story of Women, Friendship and Survival in World War Two [by Caroline Moorehead] [Despite the book’s corny (and vague) title, the book itself is impressive! It follows the lives, for the most part, of women in the French Resistance to Vichy France and Nazi Germany. And most of the profiled women were Marxist-Leninists, who ended up doing slave labour in Auschwitz and other Nazi camps (under the most harrowing conditions imaginable).]

*Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine [by Noura Erakat] [A brilliant book, covering the legal history of how Israel has been able to maintain itself as an apartheid state – and how Palestinians are still without their freedom.]

*Warrior at Heart: Poems [by Clem Dupré]

*The Anatomy of Fascism [by Robert O. Paxton]

*Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women’s Liberation in Syrian Kurdistan [by Michael Knapp, Anja Flach, and Ercan Ayboga, translated by Janet Biehl]

*Your Movie Sucks [a collection of movie reviews by Roger Ebert]

*Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism [by Sheldon S. Wolin]

*Taking the Risk Out of Democracy: Corporate Propaganda versus Freedom and Liberty [by Alex Carey, edited by Andrew Lohrey] [Since Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media contained barely any content about “corporate propaganda” – Mr. Carey’s brilliant book fills that void beautifully. His book examines the history and techniques of corporate propaganda (as in, propaganda put out by corporations) – and the “corporate media” aka “mass media” (of the Western World) rarely ever question the corporate propaganda they are being fed (that is, when they aren’t producing their own corporate propaganda).]

*Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media [by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky] [This brilliant book is mainly about “state propaganda” – as in, propaganda that is put out by “the state”. And in this book, the main focus is on state propaganda put out by the government of the USA – and the “corporate media” aka “mass media” (of the Western World) rarely ever question the state propaganda they are being fed.]

*Organizing Anarchy: Anarchism in Action [by Jeff Shantz] [This is the best book about anarchist activism Terry has ever read! Well, anarchist activism is a sorely neglected topic in the anarchist books Terry has read. But if you want to sincerely make the World a better place – first read Mr. Shantz’s AWESOME book, then figure out in what way you can help your society.]

*I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie [a collection of movie reviews by Roger Ebert]

*Debt: The First 5000 Years [by David Graeber]

*The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man [by John Perkins]

*A Little Book of Love: Heart Advice on Bringing Happiness to Ourselves and Our World [by Moh Hardin]

*Kropotkin’s Revolutionary Pamphlets [aka Anarchism: A Collection of Revolutionary Writings] [by Peter Kropotkin]

*Girl in a Band: A Memoir [by Kim Gordon]

*To Remember Spain: The Anarchist and Syndicalist Revolution of 1936 [by Murray Bookchin]

*The Spanish Anarchists: The Heroic Years, 1868-1936 [by Murray Bookchin]

*A Cool Million [by Nathanael West]

*Miss Lonelyhearts [by Nathanael West]

*The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump (Second Edition) [by Corey Robin] [Terry doubts there will ever be a better book about conservatism – than this one.]

*A Confession and Other Religious Writings [a collection of writings by Leo Tolstoy, translated by Jane Kentish]

*Leninism [by Alfred G. Meyer] [Mr. Meyer wasn’t any sort of Leninist – so Terry thought Meyer should’ve been more critical of Vladimir Lenin than he was. Still, Terry considers this book an overall impressive analysis of Mr. Lenin’s written works.]

*Warrant for Genocide: The Myth of the Jewish World-Conspiracy and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion [by Norman Cohn] [This book, about the history behind anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about powerful Jews secretly “dominating the World” – is definitely insightful. The book is also INCREDIBLY HILARIOUS, whenever Mr. Cohn mocks various anti-Semites.]

*The Long Twentieth Century: Money, Power, and the Origins of Our Time (New and Updated Edition) [by Giovanni Arrighi] [This book, about the history of (mainly financial) capitalism – was one of the most challenging books Terry ever read. But it is required reading!]

*Capitalism: A Structural Genocide [by Gary Leech]

*A History of Gold and Money, 1450-1920 [by Pierre Vilar, translated by Judith White]

*Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism: An Unbridgeable Chasm [by Murray Bookchin] [In this pamphlet, Mr. Bookchin said what needed to be said – and is required reading for all anarchists.]

*Anarchism and the Black Revolution (The Definitive Edition) [by Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin] [An amazing book, especially with regard to its criticism of far-left social movements. Terry was also VERY impressed by Mr. Ervin’s clear explanation of what anarcho-communism is!]

*Remaking Society [by Murray Bookchin]

*The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution (Second Edition Revised) [by CLR James]

*Anarchism and Anarchists [by George Woodcock]

*Contending Economic Theories: Neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian [by Richard D. Wolff and Stephen Resnick]

*Understanding Socialism [by Richard Wolff] [This pamphlet should’ve been titled Understanding Marxism, because it has so little to say about the non-Marxist branches of socialism – and it makes barely a whisper about any of the anarchist branches of socialism.]

*Understanding Marxism [by Richard Wolff] [This pamphlet should’ve been titled Understanding Karl Marx, because the only Marxist whose writings are examined in the pamphlet – is that of Mr. Marx. If you want to know about any Marxists who came after Mr. Marx, you’ll need other books.]

*Political Economy From Below: Economic Thought in Communitarian Anarchism, 1840-1914 [by Rob Knowles] [This is the best book about “social anarchism” Terry has ever read!]

*Anarchism [by George Woodcock]

*The Portable Karl Marx [a collection of excerpts by Karl Marx, edited by Eugene Kamenka]

*Capital: A Critique of Political Economy (Volumes I-III) [all three volumes unabridged – by Karl Marx, Volume I translated by Ben Fowkes, Volumes II-III translated by David Fernbach] [Mr. Marx was a very eloquent writer – and Terry had to read the volumes of Capital VERY slowly, to properly process what he was reading.]

*A Companion to Marx’s Capital (The Complete Edition) [by David Harvey] [The volumes of Karl Marx’s Capital are a challenging read. So Terry would read a section of Mr. Harvey’s Companion, then read the section of Capital that the Companion explained. Terry HIGHLY recommends reading this Companion while reading Capital!]

*Sex, Sex and More Sex [by Sue Johanson]

*500 Years of Indigenous Resistance [by Gord Hill]

*All the Presidents’ Bankers: The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power [by Nomi Prins] [Terry must emphasize, Ms. Prins is NOT a conspiracy theorist – even though this great book’s title SOUNDS like a title a conspiracy theorist would use.]

*Global Political Economy: Theory and Practice (Seventh Edition) [by Theodore H. Cohn] [To Mr. Cohn’s credit – he emphasizes that you need MULTIPLE perspectives/viewpoints, when examining economics (because no one perspective/viewpoint can explain everything in economics).]

*Old School Stephen King Books [Skeleton Crew, Pet Semetery, The Gunslinger, Insomnia, and The Green Mile] [Well, Terry only considers “old school” in the case of Stephen King’s works to mean pre-1990 – but Terry decided to lazily list every Stephen King book he ever read here.]
