Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets

It'a a required reading for a class. It's good so far, but a part of me wonders how much he embellished some of the details.

I'm reading a book called The Digital Daycare Center. It's handbook for dealing with troubled young people (or people who just act like they are) on the internet.

Thanks. I read a few of your posts too if that counts which should stoke your undeserved concieted ego.

[Saint Frankenstein]

Cain's Blood by Geoffrey Girard

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I just finished George Carlin's "When will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?" My only complaint is the handful of material in the book that I've seen on his specials. Other than that it's a great read.

Reading Thomas Malthus an Essay on the Principle of Population.

Fell in love with the theory in High School wanted to reread it again.

It is amazing.

His two principles

Humans need for food has remained constant throughout evolution
Humans need for sex has remained constant throughout evolution.

Although our need for food is constant, his predictions on our ablility to make more food missed the mark. You could substitue water for today's version.

He also was a feminst. He believe that in harsh times it was women that felt the vices first.

 

[StarryNightshade]

A graphic Novel called Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea.

So far, so good.

The Sea is so Wide and My Boat is so small

A quick quote

"Congregations of faith dot almost as many inner city streets as liquor stores but, unlike liquor stores, their doors are often locked."

I'm trying to decide what I want to read next. Which I think is a sign it's time for me to get lost in a library for a couple hours.

 

[GoodbyeDave]

I've just finished Richard Creel's Divine Impassibility and Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle. Tomorrow morning I'm off to the library for Frankfurter's Religion in Roman Egypt and any 1930's detective story I haven't read, among other things.
