I have read each of these books from cover to cover entirely whilst seated on the can as part of my morning ablutions over the years -
- Slaughterhouse-Five – Kurt Vonnegut. The time travel angles of the book make for surreal flashbacks to long forgotten dumps of the past. Remembrance of Dumps Past as it were.
- Firepower: Weapons Effectiveness On The Battlefield, 1630- 1750 – B.P. Hughes
- Notes of a Dirty Old Man – Charles Bukowski. Très à propos.
- Letters to a Young Contrarian – Christopher Hitchens
- Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – Frank Miller
- Answer ME! No.4 – The Rape Issue – Jim & Debbie Goad
- Lord of the Rings (+ The Hobbit) – J.R.R. Tolkien. Epic. Took 8 months, some days I was in there for over an hour.
- The Twelve Caesars – Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus
- TCP/IP Primer Plus & IP Routing Primer Plus – Heather Osterloh. Beauty AND brains – and she’ll never ask you any stupid computer questions. Honey, you can leave your boots under my bed any time.
- The Anti-Christ – Friedrich Nietzsche. The can is not only an appropriate place to read this, it’s the ONLY place to read this. If only Nietzsche could have witnessed modern islam.
- Unlike Stories, Mostly – Alasdair Gray
- Watchmen – Alan Moore
- The Turner Diaries – William Luther Pierce. Really is a must read to get into the mind of those that preach separatism to the point of using violence to get it.
- The Paranoid Style in American Politics - Richard J. Hofstadter

I’d also recommend Steven Pinker’s “The Blank Slate” — especially its chapter discussing feminism.

Thanks for that. Like my “to read” pile isn’t huge enough. Heard he was in cahoots with the arch-traitor Hoff Sommers.
