This post is another list of things to read, specifically books. Reading is good. Ignorance is bad. I love books.
For each book I provide a relevant link (to a review, an article about the author, etc). I am not providing direct links to the books themselves, which you can easily locate yourself with the author and title.
The books alternate between Zionist authors (odd numbered) and anti-Zionist authors (even numbered). If you are a Zionist, you really should know what the anti-Zionists are saying, and vice-versa.
