==Suggested Readings==
Below, a Curated Selection by Your Occupy Librarian. (Last stationed 2011-12 in London)<br>
Publishers showing support of the movement via book donations included Zed, Verso, Pluto, AK, and Freedom Press.<br>
The highest praise and support should go to The Radical Grandmother Brigade. They are the Life Blood & Heart of Civilization.<br>
 
The best book, in my view, would be: The Ultimate History of the Universe, authored by Superintelligent AI based on the reader's biofeedback, and narrated by a flawlessly simulated Buckminster Fuller. . . For now: the works of Will and Ariel Durant.<br>
Ordered accordingly.
