I'm back in good health and should start posting serious theory discussions instead of talking about football all the time.
Post ideas here. Upbearing comments will be interprebeared as an expression of interest.
It would be good etiquette to mention the length of the book, as it's relevant to choosing.
Okay, but in all seriousness (in contrast to my previous reply to you), Ilan Pappe is sort-of read a lot by MLs and other leftists or socialists.
I would read someone that isn't often read or at least read a book that isn't often read a lot.
Unless we're partly introducing new leftists and socialists?
If so, I'd almost like to do my own book club.
I'm totally with you on that.
I just can't think of the perfect book on Palestine for this current situation and I'm not in the right headspace to go and skim over the stuff of his that I've read to figure out which book I should recommend specifically so I thought I'd make a gentle suggestion about the topic of Palestine with a good first port of call so that if anyone happened to feel enthusiastic enough about it that they might pick one of his books because, as an author, I think he's a safe choice on this front.
I'm really half-arsing my participation here but that's about all I've got in me at the moment.
I'm glad you agree because whenever I tell people to sometimes pass on "Required Reading," I always either get "blank stares" or people telling me that it's just too important or whatever.
But going off the beaten path is how you find new shit.
New info. New theory. New viewpoints.
So I always recommend that people go off the beaten path a few times and read what they want and explore a bit more.
But I totally get what you're saying and, yeah, that "port of call" for topics on Palestine is, well, a good call, so to speak (sorry for the pun).
