4.Facing Unpleasant Facts: Narrative Essays (Complete Works of George Orwell)Facing Unpleasant Facts: Narrative Essays (Complete Works of George Orwell)
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $12.95

Customer Review:
You have to like Orwell quite a bit to buy his non-fiction work. I do like him quite a bit, and I happen to be writing a bunch of creative non-fiction essays about my own life growing up in America. So I purchased the volume that contains his narrative essays to see how he makes his own personal... more info

6.50 Things You re Not Supposed To Know, Volume 250 Things You're Not Supposed To Know, Volume 2
from The Disinformation Company
Price: $0.99

Customer Review:
Some of the arguments are incredibly compelling, solidly documented and some of the others are just weird conpiracist nonsense, hearsay, or trivial facts.
The existence of this book is a validation of Matt Taibbi's arguments in the Great Derangement.
Choose your own reality and have fun... more info

The info in Project Censored's yearly reports is always mandatory reading for any informed citizen, but I really think this book is in the wrong format.

8.[no image]Pre-Code Hollywood
from Columbia University Press
Price: $83.50

Customer Review:
I thought this book was a complete waste of time. Didn't like the writing, incompetent research, etc. Even the cover is lousy!
It is nothing more than a re-hash of what has been written before, by much better, competent, well-researched and informative authors.

10.Taboo Tunes: A History of Banned Bands and Censored SongsTaboo Tunes: A History of Banned Bands and Censored Songs
from Backbeat Books
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
The history of music censorship is understandably political...but by the final chapter of Taboo Tunes, I was frankly tired of the author's left-wing snark -- and I say that as someone who is himself left-wing and snarky!
There's too much sarcasm among the reporting, not to mention too many... more info
