[lit] Steal This Book

[Pelafina]

"Steal This Book is a book written by Abbie Hoffman in 1970 and published in 1971.

The book includes advice on such topics as growing marijuana, starting a pirate radio station, living in a commune, stealing food, shoplifting, stealing credit cards, preparing a legal defense, making pipe bombs, and obtaining a free buffalo from the U.S. Department of the Interior. It discusses various tactics of fighting as well as giving a detailed list of affordable and easy ways to find weapons and armor that can be used in the event of a confrontation with law enforcement. The book advocates rebelling against authority in all forms, governmental and corporate."


I found this to be a pretty interesting read. The earlier sections, while no longer practical, were probably my favorite. At times Hoffman becomes annoying with his zeal for rebellion, but it was part of the times, and can be overlooked.

Anyone?

I've wanted to read this for a little bit. This will probably the next book I get too since I'm in the mood for something like this.
