I have so many books on my Kindle and on my kitchen table languishing unread but these are all so tempting.

Looks ‘heavy’ on the liberal side - with a ‘never Trump’ book thrown in. Not one I’d read for fun...

I could add a couple more Thomas Sowell books to that list. :-)

Everyone sounds intriguing. I need to put more reading on my New Year’s list.

I have been trying to find a good contemporary mystery novel and have checked numerous out of the library only to find they are pushing an agenda - with irrelevant PC lectures to readers inserted, some don’t even have an ending, and others are just filled with boring small-talk.

I’ve read “A Terrible Glory”, “The Road to Serfdom”, and “The Conservative Mind.” All great reads. The Custer story is less philosophical than the other two, but they will all leave you thinking.

I suggest reading “Love your life not theirs” by Rachel Cruz, Dave Ramsey’s daughter, though it came out late 20163

Just finished The Myth of the Robber Barons. A whole different perspective on what you learned in high school. An easy read.

The Bible. Everything else is optional. Well maybe FR but that isn’t a book per se.

To read a book about the period of history I was born during, lived through, i.e., ‘The Cold War’, and survived, I would better read all my journals, than some other writer, who most undoubtably placed ‘their own slant on it’, thereby ruining the soup.

And why would anyone, I mean ANYONE, want to read a book about QUEERS? Since the outright threat of mass murder through the infection of the Los Angeles Basin Red Cross blood supply by queers in 1984, through to today, suffering the soiling of The White House with a pair of them existing in it for 8 long insufferable years, hoodatruck gives a rodent’s posterior, about a book concerning them?

I have so many real books, i.e., non-electronic documents, to read because I like certain authors, even if one or two are rushed works, to keep the reading public captive.

“The Boys in the Boat” was a fantastic read. Would highly recommend it. My sister’s father-in-law grew up in Sequim (pronounced “Squim”), WA, with Joe Rantz, the main character in the book.

Does the constitution count as a book?
