Coupling, The Office (BBC), BBC Nightly News, Are You Being Served?, The Daily Show, Colbert Report and whatever is on public television
I usually read non-fiction. Usually books that have to do with socialism/communism (Marxist-Leninist), the Russian revolution (revolution/activism in general) and current events. I recommend anything from Haymarket Books really. Whether its socialist tradition, history, current events or whatever you can't lose. I just finished reading Friendly Fire by Guiliana Sgrena. That was a great book. Now I am reading Subterranean Fire: A History of Working-Class Radicalism in the United States by Sharon Smith. I won't finish that for one a while though because the new issue of the International Socialist Review just came out.
Karl Marx, Lenin, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Suheir Hammad, Stanley Howard, Madison Hobley, the Haymarket Martyrs, Leonard Peltier, Leon Trotsky and every person fighting for a better world.
