      Everyone I know from New Orleans has read Confederacy Of Dunces and loves it. Several people have read it more than twice. I never finished it but did like it.

      I couldnt begin to think about a top five of books. Just off the top of my head I'd say.......

      All Jim Keiths books as well as the ones he wrote as Commander X
      All the "Paranoia" magazines. www.paranoiamagazine.com
      Bloodlines of the Illuminati
      Conspiracy Reader books one and two ( Joan D'Arc ( RIP ) & Al Hidell
      Programmed To Kill - The Politics of Serial Murder

      And now I'm discovering I LOVE everything I'm reading from Derrick Jensen
      And of course all the Project Censored books. www.projectcensored.org
