books

Question

This post is partly to see if Happy Cow is working.  I'm wondering as there were no comments at all yesterday.

I've read as many books as I could about AR and AW since the '70s.  If I had to pick one author to recommend it would probably be Jonathan Balcombe for his wonderful books, "Pleasurable Kingdom" and "Second Nature".

It's working.  :)

I too have read lots of books on animal rights, from Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation" to Gary Francione's "Animals as Persons" to Carol Adams "The Sexual Politics of Meat" to Breeze Harper's "Sistah Vegan".  I also enjoyed "Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows" by Melanie Joy.

Two of my other favorite authors are Jeffrey Moussant Mason and Jim Mason,- Jim's book "An Unnatural Order" was the primary motivation for my third book, "The First ISM".

The book I found most informative was "Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception" by Max Heindel in which he explained from the spiritual perspective that animals have spirit.

I remember liking Jonathan Safran Foer's book Eating Animals when it came out, but there doesn't seem to be much love for Foer out there. He never was vegan anyway, which is weird af.
