Retrospective 2007 reading list

On numerous occasions while reading Derrick Jensen's Endgame: Resistance, I had to stop, put the book down and think hard about what he was saying. His impassioned calls for action - "why aren't you doing more?" left me seriously questioning my commitment to change the world. Easily the best book that I read this year. Be warned that buying it will get your name on all types of lists. I recommend using cash.
