-* Рекомендация книг от RMS
-19. OsamaK: What's the best book you have ever read?
-
-RMS: I can't remember now all the books I have read and loved. And even if
-I could, I would not be able to pick one to call it best.
-
-If you like fairly hard Science Fiction with a big vision, I recommend
-A Fire Upon the Deep, by Vernor Vinge, and Diaspora, by Greg Egan. If
-you like something a little less hard, I recommend The Jehovah
-Contract by Victor Koman. If you like detective fiction, I recommend
-Laura King's books about Mary Russell, starting with The Beekeeper's
-Apprentice, and Steve Saylor's Roman mysteries about Gordianus the
-Finder.
-
-In other areas of fiction, I have enjoyed Jane Austen and Paul Auster,
-Lewis Carroll and Edgar Allen Poe, among others. In Spanish, Jorge
-Luis Borges, Arturo PÃrez Reverte (especially La Carta EsfÃrica and El
-Club Dumas), and Alejandro Dolina.
-
-If you are interested in linguistics, I recommend
-The Origin of Language by Merrit Ruhlen.
-
-A few suggestions in history and anthropology:
-
-Burning Water Laurette SÃjournÃ
-Popol Vuh Translated by Dennis Tedlock
-Lords of Sipan Kirkpatrick
-Courtesans and Fishcakes James Davidson
-Life and Death in Shanghai Nien Cheng
-Buddhism in India Gail Omvedt
-also her biography of Dr. Ambedkar, leader of the Dalits
-A Vietcong Memoir Truong Nhu Tang
-The Forbidden Bestsellers
-of Pre-Revolutionary France Robert Darnton
-
-It is interesting to compare these two:
-Marquesan Sexual Behavior Suggs
-The Fateful Hoaxing of Margaret Mead Derek Freeman
-(I.e., the Samoan girls lied to Mead, claiming a life style
-which in fact is rather Marquesan than Samoan.)
-
-If you buy some of these books, or any books, I recommend
-yu do it in a way that doesn't identify you to Big Brother.
-Pay cash, in a store.
-
-For the sake of your friendships, please don't get a copy
-with digital handcuffs (DRM, Digital Restrictions Management).
-See DefectiveByDesign.org for more explanation.
-
-In particular, don't buy them from Amazon unless/until Amazon
-gives you a way to buy anonymously and without DRM.
