[edit]Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Ckatzchatspy 22:31, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
"I'm particularly interested in articles relating to astronomy, science fiction, television, and Canadian issues." These are your words, please, concentrate on these topics. Anti-Spamming is too cheap for an editor who has self-respect... I am interested in SERIOUS books and I always suggest SERIOUS books. My favourite authors are Spinoza (especially his Ethics), Aristotle (especially his "On The Soul" and "Metaphysics"), Plato (all of his magnificent "Dialogues" and especially the cave story, the Republic), I love Livy and Cicero, the Bible (don't have preferences, but I suggest you Jesus Sirah or Ben Sira -- included in the Orthodox Bible and in the Latin Vulgate -- it will give you a bit of wisdom; btw there is a new English edition with great explanations), St. Augustine, I love Hobbes's Leviathan, and enjoyed as young the Prince (Machiavelli), also David Hume and Adam Ferguson (while preparing for Adam Smith's "Wealth..." and "Moral Sentiments"), the French Physiocrats, Montesquieu's "The Spirit of Laws", John Locke's "Second Tract", Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" and his less known writings on French Revolution, Mill's "Liberty", Nietzsche's "Gay Science", Hegel's philosophy of history, Kant's short essays on peace (surely, you have to read "On Perpetual Peace"), on enlightenment, progress and knowledge, his moral philosophy, and of course, his masterpiece critique of "Pure Reason", I like the French encyclopedists -- Diderot, Volter (especially "Candid"), I like Descartes... I don't like Roseau, but his Autobiography and Emile were not too bad; I like Marx, especially his theory of estranged labour, Max Weber and his amazing German punctuality while writing on capitalism and protestant ethic, on science, and all his full with notes essays, I like a number of Austrian authors -- J. Schumpeter, F. Hayek, and the great Karl Popper and his Open Society and its Enemies (this is a book for you, boy, you will understand how disgraceful and dangerous is to play ADMINISTRATOR): all experiencing the suffocating environment of post-First World War, early-Nazi Europe and expelled or forced to go abroad.. I like H. Arendt, Solzhenitsyn... All they knew what is evil and wrote, and thought to explain and hopefully prevent it... I don't like Keynes (although read his magnificent post-war masterpiece), but I know very well what is Keynesism and what is neo-liberalism; I like Dostoyevsky, Nabokov, Roth, I.B.Singer, even authors like Karl May, I was pleasantly bored by Thomas Mann's "Magic Mountain" and "Death in Venice"... I can speak and write all day about books because I love them - new and old, books which I read and will read until my death... Boy, you cannot tell me whether my links to books are spam, or not, because you don't have my education, nor my love... I am sorry that you forced me to say this, but this is the truth...Dobrich (talk) 02:25, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
...I restored the links. I don't care if you will delete them again. This is my last contribution to Wikipedia... I feel a bit disgusted.
