lyle_hanson's Journal: Just Read: The Monkey Wrench Gang, by Edward Abbey

I'm going to try to start making some comments on books I read, to help me remember them (heh) and perhaps spark some discussion. So here goes:

Wow, this was a fun read. Especially of interest to those into eco-defence and direct action. I thought it was especially good because of the contradictions the characters displayed when it comes to issues of ethics and effectiveness. A certain amount of contradiction comes with the territory, and can drive you mad trying to resolve them; you just have to do what you can.

Anyway, I'm in a bit of a rush so I'll leave it at that. I'd say this is one of those "required reading" type of books that I finally got a chance to read. I'd definately recommend it.
