Animal Rights Zone

Fighting for animal liberation and an end to speciesism

I just read two more excellent books, which follow another book I recently read and appreciated. (Speciesism by Joan Dunayer, An American Trilogy by Steven Wise and An Unnatural Order by Jim Mason).

I have a long list of books that I wish everyone on earth would read, but wonder which ones I am overlooking. So here is my question: which books do you wish everyone would read, especially animal activists?

I'd strongly recommend 'Introduction to Animal Rights: your child or the dog', 'Rain without Thunder' and 'Animals as Persons', by Prof. Gary L. Francione

Here are some books I'd recommend that give historical, cultural, and philosophic context to interspecies injustice and how they are entangled with injustices against humans. I have a more complete list here and a list of newly published books that have me excited even before reading them.
