I actually find his writting quiet interesting. I could see why people not 
interested in the subject would find him boring though.

find reading other political work a bit easier.>>

He's actually one of the few I could get into. I bought a book of Bakunin's 
collected writtings, which were gathered and edited by G. P. Maximoff, 2 
years ago, and never could get passed the first few pages. It still sits on 
my shelf gathering dust.  I never could get into Marx either, but I don't 
feel like im missing much there.

I do find Goldman to be a pretty interesting read, and what I've read of 
Kropotkin's, "Appeal to the Young", was good. I haven't tried Proudhon yet, 
but hope to get a chance soon.

Peace
OOT
