A few stunning books I 've read (or just used
, as you 'll find out) during the last decade:
-Max Webber: The Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism (required for just everybody)
-Vladimir Ilich Lenin: "What To Do" (pure communist crap, never really read it, just for show-off, in summer, in Greek remote island nudist beaches, good for f*ckin' the hell out of naive left-wing, stoned girls).
-General Zaphiropoulos: "The struggle against communist insurgency 1944-49" Now this is a serious and well-documented study of the -Soviet-dictated- Greek Civil War which still scars the nation. You 're NOT supposed to get laid carrying this book anywhere in my country.
-General Katsimitros: "Epirus on the Front Line" -a militarily detailed and diplomatically enriched, emotionally touching, account of the repulsion of the Italian fascist invasion of Greece in the fall of 1940, initially by the Hellenic Army's 8th Division. Priceless - and tought at Military Academies the world over.
-Alice Miller: "The Drama of the Gifted Child" Absolutely required reading for everybody, although, sadly, those in the most need of it will never read or understand it.
