Emanuel Derman's "Models. Behaving. Badly."

Finished Reich's "Aftershock", along with Jeffrey Sachs' "The Price of Civilization" and Kevin Phillips' "Wealth and Democracy" and "Bad Money".

Now on the latter's "American Theocracy".

The Battle of Leyte Gulf 23-26 October 1944. by Thomas.J.Cutler An interesting and insightful tome on what was probably the largest naval battle of WWII if not of all time.

The Mumper - Mark Baxter & Paolo Hewitt

'The Mumper is as good as it gets -
The fact that it is a true story
gives it an added bonus! Certainly,
in these bleak days of 'me,myself & I'
it is a refreshing story of human nature
at it's best!Friendship over adversity!'

Life,Love and the jolly boys!The book has a
1960's mod feel to it (although it's set in the 80's)
You will feel all the better for reading it,and I guarantee
you will laugh out loud at the antics of this wonderful group of characters!

I am reading Al Qur'an and the Bible online.

I am Reading Eleven Kinds of Loneliness by Richard Yates. Very good prose, underrated writer.

^That is covered in the book, and at no time has he supported the EDL or BNP. The book is venimous against the thugs of the BNP.

It is a book written on the front line of multiculturalism and mass immigration of an alien culture from Pakistan, which we all know and must accept has greatly enriched our nation and culture. However, this is an alternative view, which challenges this notion and is worthy of reading as a different perspective from someone living in a town that has been greatly effected by immigration, heroin and also the decline in occupations for the working class.

Of course, rather than confront issues that Lockwood raises, it is much easier and expedient, to right him off as a rascist, Islamophobic bigot as some in the media have. The forces that are at work in the UK and those sponsoring it from Saudi and Pakistan, will change the political landscape, will impose Pakistan cultural and Islamic norms on swathes of the country; to consider without any debate that this is ultimately positive and to stifle any alternative views of the negative aspects of these cultural norms under accusations of racism or Islamophobia is morally wrong.
