ned clearly you need to see the danzig promo video from the first album, wherein glenn walks shirtless through his library.

I don't think ANYONE needs to see that.

i started reading shirer's "the rise & fall of the third reich" a while back and i'm finding it pretty gripping so far, if a bit hard to read too much of at one time. i appreciate the sober, old-fashioned journalistic type angle.

My friend, a Russian Jewish godess who lived in Israel and now resides in Belgium, gave me the book saying I HAD TO READ IT. She now, after I kept reading trashy novels, ORDERED me to start reading the book after I finish Devil Wears Prada. She *claims* it's a fast read. Uh, I. Don't. Think. So. But hey I'll give it a try. I inflicted Dan Brown's book on her (saying it was popcorn though). Payback is due. ;-)

Defying Hitler, the posthumously published 1930s memoir of Aryan emigree Sebastian Haffner, is definitely worth reading. It's been so long since I read it that I struggle to offer anything more than a recommendation, but Salon have an introduction/review: http://dir.salon.com/story/books/review/2002/09/03/haffner/print.html

anyone read "hitler's willing executioners"? judging from the reviews, not worth it, but it sure stirred up some shit for a while.

i haven't -- but i think the one i linked to is maybe a kind of rejoinder to it?
