Sexual Behavior in the Human Male3 reviews
Alfred Charles Kinsey, Wardell B. Pomeroy, ...

Indiana University Press, 1998

A CLASSIC Read

+ Pioneering Work
+ Fun book!

Recent attempts to discredit Kinsey originally drove me to read Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. I'm not a scientist and was worried about Kinsey's accessibility. But like Freud, he is a great writer with an empathic style. Kinsey builds a lyrical momentum that carries the reader to each new ...
  
  











  



  
The Feminine Mystique55 reviews
Betty Friedan

W. W. Norton & Company, 2001

Groundbreaking and inspiring

+ The Feminine Mystique

I am a 23 yr. old woman reading a book that was written in 1963 for and about women. I thought this book would help me learn more about women's history, but it was a huge eye-opener and a complete inspiration. The chapters in this book still describe me as a young American woman almost 40 yrs. ...
  
  











  



  
Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung27 reviews
Mao Tse-Tung

China Books & Periodicals Inc., 1990

The most re(a)d book of the past century?

+ Interesting insight into the man and the world in his time
+ Review of the Little Red Book - Quotations from Chairman Mao

Well, maybe not the most read (although still read very much), but probably the most red. Puns aside, this book is a very important read for us today. I think the best way to show this is to make the kind of list that Mao likes to. 1. It contains the central doctrine of a superpower. 2. It is ...

The Communist Manifesto (Signet Classics)252 reviews
Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels

Signet Classics, 1998

Please actually read Marx...

+ A Utopian society gone south in practice

...and PLEASE read beyond the Manifesto! Ignore the anti-Marx ideologues who do not actually read him, and give him a shot. Forget, for a minute, all preconceived notions of communism, and take his writings as though they are fresh and brand new. Only then should you proceed on to reading criticism ...
  
  











  



  
Introduction to Positive Philosophy1 review
Auguste Comte

Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1988

A positive review

I found this to be very succinct and readable. It's a hard subject to find original material on but worth the search.
  
  











  



  
Mein Kampf152 reviews
Adolf Hitler

Mariner Books, 1998

Very good ideas for his and maybe our time!

+ Understanding what your getting into.......It's History people....
+ Manic Tornado

Well in the first part of Mein Kampf Hitler wrote mostly in prison so some things may be hard to put in perspective. His ideas were of very high standards for the white man and preserving heritage. This is not a book that some might have you think will lead to coercive action. The life story is ...
