Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against the New Barbarism
Bernard-Henri Levy
Random House, 2008
The book a great read
I bought it the other night when BHL debated Zizek (and won, hands down!) and read it in two nights. But I'll have to think about for weeks.
It's hard to imagine a reader so closed-minded and parochical that he or she would not be totally fascinated by the opening ...

Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization
Nicholson Baker
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Human Smoke is a chronicle of how the world self-destructed in the inferno of World War II
Human Smoke is the most unusual book on World War II which I have read. The reason is the format. Award winning American pacifist author Nicholson Baker has told the grisly story by using a Wikepdia approach to his narrative structure. In succinct paragraphs he tells ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A Book for the Intellectually Honest Seeking Truth About American History
It is very unfortunate that people use the review process to attack a book which they are very unlikely to have read. It is always fascinating that the very same people who so often lecture to all of us about "tolerance" are the least so. It is particularly bothersome ...

Culture Warrior
Bill O'Reilly
Broadway, 2007
Rational Opinions Count
Bill has done in this book what most people are too scared to do. He has opened the eyes of many, but I'm afraid the politically correct crowd will be offended. In typical O'Reilly fashion, he has been straightforward in his assessment of society. All that is right ...

V for Vendetta
Alan Moore, David Lloyd
Vertigo, 1995
requiered reading
This is a very interesting tale about police state and the consequences it has on its citizens. Drawings are cute while the story moves at an adequate pace. It is also remarkable the component of rebellion against oppression. I would recomend it for teenagers from 14 ...

1984 (Signet Classics)
George Orwell
New American Library, 1961
Still Relevant
1984 has come and gone but this still is one of the most important books you could read about why it's important to protect our Freedom. Orwell wrote it to condemn Stalin and the Bolshevists but power for the sake of Power happens everywhere the government gets too ...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson
Knopf, 2008
Excellent
While it took close to one hundred pages to get into this book, I am so very glad that I stuck with it. Yes, translations can be clunky, yes, the cast of characters was huge, yes, it was long. It was worth every one of those minor faults and more. It took all those ...

The Rise of the Fourth Reich: The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America
Jim Marrs
William Morrow, 2008
Well Documented and Difficult to Refute
This book is extensively sourced and footnoted, making it easy enough to verify the allegations for yourself if you are so inclined. I took a few weeks to go through this book and was able to trace many of the key assertions. Sadly, the Bush Administration has moved ...

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
Ann Coulter
Crown Forum, 2007
Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book
It just doesn't stop. What is this, the sixth book by stick-woman? Does it matter? It's the same book, every year. The same shtick, all the time.
I'd like to write a wittier review of this book, but it's difficult. I never bought a Coulter book, I never will. ...

Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America (Process Self-reliance Series)
Mark Ehrman
Process, 2006
All the info.
I spent a couple of weeks just skipping through different parts of this book, and I don't regret it. It's like cruising through a buffet of food that you really like. Then I sat down and read it cover to cover. I learned a lot, I appreciated the many web resources that ...

The Qur'an Translation
Tahrike Tarsile Qur'an, 1999
The Qur'an
I finally got around to reading this translation of the Qur'an. I gave it five stars to counter act some of the one star reviews. Im a Christian and still am. But I will admit I no longer view Islam as evil, or the Qur'an as a bad book. Quite the contrary I was ...

The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11
David Ray Griffin
Interlink, 2004
September 11, 2001 Day of Deceit
The collapse of the twin towers didn't look right to me, but so much was happening that I had to let it go. There was the antrax attacks that was "military grade" thought to come from Ft. Dietrick. There was a killer in my neighborhood called the DC sniper. Oh yeah, ...

The Wave
Todd Strasser
Laurel Leaf, 1981
All Older Children and Young Teens Should Read This Book
This book is a fascinating effort to bring home the horrors of the Holocaust and the pernicious effects of branding people as the "other." A must-read for our divisive, soulless times, I read this with my two older children and we all learned something from it. You ...
