Jun 08, 2008
"UNMARKETABLE: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity" is the full title of Anne Elizabeth Moore's book. In the tradition of Thomas Frank, and considering various conclusions of "adbusters" and other analyses of the cross-pollination of corporate and anti-corporate cultural producers' work, Moore goes further than her colleagues in digging into the truth of the wasted, and re-co-opted attempts to co-opt established corporate logos, jingles, strategies and attitudes. This important book includes valuable insights into the punk and DIY ethos, as well.

Miller: The Kite Runner
Jan 10, 2008
The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a well-to-do boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime. This is the story of Amir's friendship with Hassan and how he atones for sins he had committed in his childhood. Amir is troubled by the guilt of betraying Hassan and when he receives a call from an old childhood aquaintance, Rahim Khan, all Rahim Khan says is, "There is a way to be good again." This throws Amir head first into a journey into the depth of Taliban ruled Afghanistan, into the past (wikipedia).
