Sometimes you can feel like you can get more out of reading a single book then you have an entire semester of college. Some of these books might be surprisingly simple to read. Which three books made you feel much more educated and enriched after reading them?
Bravo! Well said.
Peter zeihan Alexander bevin Robert Green and Tony Robbins
Shirer also wrote another book you might enjoy “Berlin Diary: The Journal of a Foreign Correspondent 1934-1941.”
Proverbs
Reminded me of some fellows who stood up against tryanny; and, of fellows who were good fathers.
Those Who Love
John and Abigail Adams
Washington
by Douglas Southall Freeman
The Bible.
Falsification of History by John Homer. Had a few disagreements but mainly good information.
Ancient book of Daniel by Ken Johnson.
Ayn Rand, “Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal”. A collection of short non-fiction essays by Rand and a few others. It functions like a Cliff Notes primer for understanding her political philosophy without having to wade through hundreds of pages of tedious monologues in her novels.
David Horowitz, “The Politics of Bad Faith”. It’s basically a condensed version of his autobiography “Radical Son” with less bio info and more explication of how the mind and soul of the Left works. Incredibly powerful stuff.
Anything Thomas Sowell. I especially liked “The Quest for Cosmic Justice” which I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread.
Anything by Thomas Sowell but his Basic Economics book should be in every high school.
History - The Flashman Series - George MacDonald Fraser
Faith - Job: A Comedy of Justice - Robert A. Heinlein
Mystery - The Marcus Didius Falco Series - Lindsey Davis
Porky’s, the novelization of the movie. Road House 2 - the novelization of what happened after the movie. The Midnight Libarrry
The book of James in the New Testament
That Which is Seen and That Which is Unseen - Fredric Bastiat
Economics in One Lesson - Henry Hazlitt
I felt really good after reading each of those books the first time and the twenty-fifth time when I was in the first grade.
Anything by Sean Hannity. (Do I really need a sarcasm tag?)
1) Principles by Ray Dalio
2) Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
3) Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
Read later.
Romans
