This book blew me away when it was published - more than 20 years ago already - and it changed my view upon so many things.

For this week‘s #integrateyourshelf I had a loooot of books to choose from and went for the one that I think I still think about most, that taught me the most that I still use today about politics in America, the UK and all over the world. Even though it‘s 20 years old seeing how corporations and marketing affect all our politics was so important and fascinating for me. @ChasingOm

If i could pick ONE author to see and I‘d never get to hear any other ones, I wouldn‘t pause before I picked Naomi Klein. I‘m so excited to get to see my favourite living author, I‘m almost shaking. She‘s the only person I‘ve methodically read the complete works of, I‘ve bought her books for all my friends, I‘ve been accused of talking about her Too Much :/ I might have had to come out on a Saturday night alone but I couldn‘t be more hyped

This was mindblowing - @BarbaraBB was right about how great it was! Obviously it was a bit out of date, having been written in the 90s, but all its core messages rang so true and were so fascinating, horrifying - and weirdly inspiring, since Naomi Klein always does such a good job of showing you how goliaths can be fought. I feel like I understand the business world today much better now, never taken much of an interest before. Essential reading

Drake's repeated mentions of Hennessy (I counted six) made me think of product placement in music. Inevitably I thought of Klein's influential history/critique of brands & their cultural impact. There's also a worthwhile documentary based upon this book.

Thanks for tagging me, @Marchpane

As a #1001books to read before you die junky I have read lots of great cult books so it is hard to narrow them down to 5. In the end I have chosen 5 which I haven‘t recently plugged here😉!

I‘d like to tag @AshleyHoss820 @KristelH and @Ole and anyone else who likes to join!

And yet another slightly-random non-fiction book stack!

My #JuneBookBugs title for today has a shape around the title. Does that count? #ashapeinthetitle
