I've no problem removing or replacing discourses. Cheers, that's probably 5 hours unwasted. The digital copy I had was horrible quality too. Deleted.

There's 18 on the list that are Totalitarian related. These are essential reading for me since it's my favourite topic. I've already started number 1 on the list and 75 pages in it's actually really well written, unlike some of the other heavily politically worded material I've read on the subject.
Some of the other stuff on here I can easily ditch or replace but some of them are of interest to me regardless of what anyone else thinks. One example is The Nemesis file. You likely don't know what that is but it's about an SAS execution squad who hunted down and fought the provies in Ireland during our troubles.
