Books...lists of the ones that motivate us really to " give it to the man..".


Needed

Thats the purpose of this list soon i will get back to work on

bits and bobs of the great culture have the last year appeared  on

FAR more importantly, I am arguably about 3x Erin Brockovich (did all my own law work, and the nett benefit to society = 3x hers... probably more in reality, but she is prettier than me so we give her that)  - see simonclayton2020.com,  and i wrote in that site and ralphschism how this all came about because i had for many years prior to then read many proper real grown up liteature books. But the gotta be the best that take you fully into other worlds. And also those that ask deep moral questions (e.g. Silas Marner or Tolstoy's Resurrection maybe the greatest ever book of the real enlightemnment meets modernity). 

In 2005 i was told by every single legal campaigner in the UK (all on my 'own side') " you are going mad and very stupid, you cannot possibly get that law changed...no one can". IT was quite distressing - they really thought this. I was almost ostracised  from my new friends of the loose community of rights fighters!


BUT, because i had a well developed imagination with no legal training at all,  i could visualise what the law SHOULD be... when seemingy no one else, not even top High Court judges could. 

That may sound strange but it was a massive case (argably biggest legal test case this century) exploring what the law should be - how it should be applied, in the real world. And it was in fact proved (the win) that  my 'interpretation', entirley via my general imagination, was correct, and every lawyer and judge in the uk for several decades, wrong.

BOOKS did that... good books...not law books - i have never even browsed one, good books taking us into human story -  they allow us to figure right and wrong... even when everyone else has gone nuts
