Hola Amigos
Welcome to OUR book club and discussion group.
To be simple on rules, be respectful.
I understand political discussion can get heated but attempt to understand before we delve into an attack. We are also not all liberal altruist's, so take that in mind.
Okay, as chosen by one of our...
Hey, I was motivated by another thread. I believe that the worst thing a person can have is a settled opinion, and I would like to start a reading discussion group that shakes our settled philosophies. I am an anarchist, my anarchist philosophy is my own , a development of life experience and...
I like reading a bunch but have trouble remembering things if I don't talk about them with people.

You know, I got to thinking, the knife is a fundamental tool.
Not only is it a weapon, but it's also a tool. As a matter as fact, I would even argue that it is more of a tool than it is a weapon. Unless we're talking about a Bowie knife that thing's a fuckin weapon, primarily, there's no way...
I am on my own personal journey of self-education and i was wondering if anyone had any good book suggestions. I am into most non-fiction genres, particulary history, philosophy and politics.

Hello people,
I have a weird tradition of turning my travel stories into books once a year.
This year my lazy ass hasn't finished the paperback version of it but for those of you that would like to read my adventures around Europe, I attached a PDF to this thread.
(p.s: the whole thing is free...
There is another sub-culture that existed in parallel to the Vagabond/Hippie/Hobo life style. For the most part it's gone now, but an excellent book has been written chronicling it's whole history. It was Phone Phreaking.
For those not familiar with the term, Phone Preaks were similar to...
These word-of-mouth suggestions for safe passage through a sometimes-hostile America were, "sort of a 20th Century version of the Underground Railroad, and this annual travel guide was the Bible of black travel," says Brent Leggs, the director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action...

I stumbled across this interesting book called “The Tramp’s Handbook”, that was written in England in 1903 by Harry Roberts. Full of fascinating folklore for living the tramp’s life from back in the day, that’s still very applicable today. Click this link...
If you've been curious about unplugging from normal society and seeing what it's like to travel the open road, you probably did some searching and somehow or another ended up here on the Squat the Planet (StP) website. This website has a ton of useful information; if you're willing to dig long...
The Melbourne Anarchist Book Fair is coming up :)

AlmostAlwaysLost submitted a new file to the StP library:
The Book of Camping and Woodcraft 1906 - A guidebook for those who travel in the wilderness
Click here for more information on this file.
This section is titled Art and Music and since writing is a form of artistic expression I thought it would be appropriate to post it here. Gathering Prey, by Josh Sanford. This murder thriller is based around travelers and many who frequent StP would be able to relate to the characters.

Hey Everyone Name is SuneeShines.
I have been reading STP for a few months because travel and adventure is just really interesting to me. I don't really have any qualms with working my dead end jobs (as long as I can start in the Afternoon). I don't have a wanderlust that can only be...

So this is an idea that I've had for a while that I'm finally bringing to fruition... a story about some local wingnuts, students, and a traveler named Arnica, who have to protect their town from a secretive biotech/intel corporation called ACTIAS that threatens them with both gentrification and...
Here's a great book I found and have read several times. "Shantyboat" by Harland Hubbard. Harland Hubbard was an artist in the 1940's who built a shantyboat and drifted down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and then into the bayous of Louisiana. People have compared him to Thoreau. The...
