Hi,
This is my user page which currently sucks however I would like to improve it and indeed contribute more constructively to wikipedia when I have the time. My name is Kenny, i'm 29, a History BA graduate of the University of Essex and I serve in the British Army in the Adjutant General's Corps. I enjoy reading, mainly history, and sports, mainly football. I am a big fan of Arsenal F.C. I enjoy reading not just for plain enjoyment, but also as a means to enrichen, explain and reflect in a broader light my own and others experiences in life.
My favourite books are:
Stanlingrad by Antony Beevor
The Great War in Modern Memory by Paul Fussell
Madness and Civilization by Michel Foucault
The Politics of Experience by Ronald David Laing
Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell
The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell
Generation X by Douglas Coupland
Trouble in Mind by Leon F. Litwack
Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Notes From the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Here are so great quotes I'd like to share that I found elsewhere in wikipedia.
Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth. - George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion
Any movement in history which attempts to perpetuate itself, becomes reactionary. - -- Josip Broz Tito

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: This user is opposed to ads on Wikipedia. |
As the banner suggests I am very strongly against advertising or commercial interests in Wikipedia, but also in academia and art in general. I dislike the dumbing down and commodifying effect commercialisation has on well, everything, and have taken a personal vow to be as disruptive to all commercial activity that intrudes on acedmic grounds as is possible!
