it was amazing

First read Chomsky as a teenager. At first I couldn't believe what he was saying.

I never wanted to be a radical; it's just that when I started checking the footnotes I couldn't stop.

Asher Deep I read this a couple of months ago and felt the same way. He's been doing it for six decades, God . . .


David M you're the perfect age for it!

David M I'd read a lot of the journalists and other authors he cites; and this is a good volume The Chomsky Reader

his political writing is actually very repetitive, as he talks about the same war crimes over and over again

Thanks, David. I'll check it out! :)

Jennifer What book is a good intro to Chomsky? I admire him but have always been a bit intimidated to read him! Is his writing easy to comprehend for a newbie or is it a lot of theory?


Faisel Yeah it's easy, Jennifer. You can also start by listening to some of his interviews on Youtube.
