Week 1: Steal This Book & Catcher in the Rye

Well, I started out reading Catcher in the Rye because I hadn't gotten a copy of Steal This Book yet, and I have to say: it was REALLY boring. I read about a fifth of it and couldn't work up ANY interest. Thankfully, on tuesday I got my hands on Steal This Book (no, I didn't steal it). That night I pretty much read the entire "Survive" section. The "Survive" section is pretty much all about free stuff. Free food, free housing, free clothing, free furniture. No, it's not all stealling, only about HALF of it is stealing. It also lists statistic like how 40% of merchandise gets stolen in most large stores, which means they must REALLY overprice stuff if they still make a profit. But there's a rather lengthy part of the Free Food chapter that's talking about eating unfinished meals in restaraunts. Thats not illegal, the restaraunt just doesn't want you to because then you won't buy anything. I think I'm probably going to go a bit slower as far as the "Fight" and "Liberate" sections go.
