I made a request on Untrusted yesterday for books etc people would recommend as inspiring works on social and political issues they've read recently. I was asking for contemporary George Orwells and Rosa Luxemburgs, because if we spend too much time reading The Guardian, we might think that there's very little worthwhile writing going on.
As it's the end of the year, let's expand the idea for people to suggest writing, contemporary or not, which has inspired them recently. I might even come up with some suggestions of my own if I can think of any.
OK, that's it...
