Books

I've done loads of reading in the past year and here are a few of the biggest books that have influenced me.

The one that influenced me most is a book called "The David Icke Guide to the Global Conspiracy" by David Icke. It's not very well known in the United States, but the author, David Icke, is famous in the UK. In short the book explains in depth how the world is really run. He explains the truth behind the banking system, elections, government systems, and many other things, and how they all tie into a secretive group that works to install a global dictatorship. Sound ridiculous? I can understand, but I encourage people to read the book before criticizing.

The second book that influenced me most is called "Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled--and More Miserable Than Ever Before" by Jean Twenge. In short it's about today's generation, or in other words everyone born from 1971 onward, and how this generation behaves and will inherit the world of tomorrow. It covers the psychology of the generation, the habbits, the interests, etc. and the author's central claim is that this generation is the most spoiled and selfish in the history of the world. She calls it "generation me" because the main aspect of this generation is it's narcissism. A very thought provoking book.

The third book is called "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong" by James W. Loewen. It's about how the school system typically distorts history to suit the special interests of the people who run the school system, as well as the authors of school textbooks. It puts emphasis on American history and how nothing is written about the wrongdoing of this country, the neglect of minorities, and other things. I haven't looked at history tought in school the same again.
