Another good source for some of the older works (and mainly anything in relation to mythology, religion and philosophy) is http://www.sacred-texts.com/ . I hope you find it to be of some use to you.

Ottoman, the Manifesto is on there. The title is given as The Manifesto of the Communist Party. I've read it, and it is a great book. Too bad the concepts and the actual attempts weren't exactly (remotely) the same thing.

I might have thought Aldous Huxley would be on the list.

Well, I'd have definitely nominated 'Twisted', oh, and almost PERFECTLY 'A Child Called It'(true story, very sad...)

Mid says: Not to be conceited or anything...but I just looked in the mirror and I'm like "I look hawt"

Patch says: THis is why I don't roleplay in the OOC.
