Ted Great list, Elham. I've read six of them, Second Sex is on the horizon, and I've added ("maybe") #'s 7 & 10. I didn't add #6 because it's just too long for me now. But I do have other books on to-read (and on my bookshelf) which deal with Marx and his writings.

I just made a new bookshelf "radical politics". All those books which I'd like to read are there.

Elham Thank you very much, Ted. Book #7 is (I think) the first scientific serious book I read on cosmology and it really did change my viewpoint of the world. So it is maybe among the first top 10 books. Book #10, I've read it recently was also very moving and perhaps very close to my situation, so I liked it very much. I had a long mental journey with Marx, when I was a university student, I learned many new things.

I must check your shelf (radical politics), I think I must add some good non-fictions. Thankss much Ted! 8)

Ted Elham, thanks for the additional info on why you chose some of those books. Have you read Carl Sagan's Cosmos? I know quite a few people on GR who rave about that book, which I'm ashamed to say I have never read, though I'm sure I saw at least part of the TV series when it was on many years go. My son has even read Cosmos and raved about it.

Elham Ted, thank you very much for recommending Carl Sagan's Cosmos, I must read it. I think it's a kind of book that we always say to ourselves that we should have read it earlier, but I won't regret if I postpone a pleasure to another time..

Ted I have to read it to Elham. Hope I can get to it soon,
