1984: A Novel (Commemorative Edition)

George Orwell

New American Library: Signet Classic, 1983

Ironically assigned reading in many public schools
1984 is extremely influential on the way we as a society label each other and our government with names such as "Big Brother" Orwellian and such. These names like calling someone a Nazi allow us to appear to argue but actually allow us to dodge the real issues. This ...

New American Library, 1981

As always can not put the book down
Every Ken Follett novel I have read so far has been outstanding. The Key to Rebecca is no exception. This book centers around a spy in the 1940's in Cairo named Alex Wolff. Through most of the book, all of the characters are very likeable. But keep reading, and the ...

Richard Henry Dana Jr.

A classic worth the effort
A book even a landlubber like me could love! Before the Mast is a name most of us have heard. I just assumed it was a novel until I read it on suggestion of one of the guides at Mystic Seaport during a recent visit. Dana was a brave 19 year old fellow to sign up ...

Classic Individual versus the collective
At first glance, one might think of Huxley's 'Brave New World' but this book goes beyond just showing one course that the future of man might take. 'Anthem' shows the course our future will take if mankind loses the most important aspect of being man - the ability to ...

Jews, God and History

Max I. Dimont

Non-Lachrymose Jewish History; Nazi Genocide of Jews and Slavs; etc.
