Holiday reading list.

The first video is the destruction of the cooling tower at Yongbyon. Pretty cool hey? The second is the new City and Colour clip for Sleeping Sickness. Also pretty cool.

Seeing as I generally have been too tired/unmotivated to post anything substantial recently, I'm just going to list the reading I have/am/plan on getting done over the next couple of weeks. I would do amazon links like everyone else seems to do, but you can do that yourself.

Thomas Frank: Whats the Matter with Kansas. I read it for Uni, but interesting and probably worth reading independent of that anyway. If your interested in US domestic politics.

Graham Greene: The Quiet American. A really good novel, his melding of the personal and political is excellent.  

Joseph Heller: Catch 22.

Rudyard Kipling: Kim.

Securing our Survival (SOS) from IPPNW/ICAN etc. I need to read this for my placement in a few weeks. Its seems really interesting, and also very relevant. Als o some prominent names involved in its writing.

Eric Hobsbawm: The Age of Extremes. Also for Uni, but I have read a little Hobsbawm before and he seems really good.  

Hopefully post something more soon.

You Love Blogging Too Much?
Could you love politics any more? Or blogging. Geez. Your putting all us semi-committed bloggers to shame... and how on earth do you find so much to say!? I blog about crap and run out often (yes, I know, I took six months off)...

...BUT, on the upside, I have had more page visits than you... HA! Blog about that!
