A very good book for anybody interested in Nicaraguan revolution is a book called"The country under my skin" by Gioconda Belli.Its the story of how a high society girl became a revolutionary and ended up a very important part of the Revolution!It also has great quotes that i tell my-self every time i *ahem* "liberate " books from the shops
"Revolutionarly law number 1,Capitalism has cheated us.Books are not to be bought,they are to be repossessed.Its not robbery.Books are ideas.They should be able to circulate freely within society.At no price at all,or for pennies.Its outrageous to think that knowledge is only for those who can pay for it.Knowledge is universal.It belongs to us all"...Thats what i keep telling my-self anyway!I wonder if it would stand up in court..! :)

I'll be trying this in a bookstore very soon. Though I suspect if they notice me "liberating" books, I'd be better of running than quoting Gioconda Belli. ;)

Also, I think everyone has a moral obligation to steal Capital. That anyone uses Marx's work for profit, is a disgrace.
