“Little Fuzzy” by H. Beam Piper

Its a 1962 sci fi story I grabbed from the Gutenburg Project. I’m only a few pages in so I’m not quite sure where its going yet.

“Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1945 - 1956”

Also Ammianus Marcellinus’ history of the later Roman Empire.

Both very relevant to our time.

Intruder in the Dust by William Faulkner

I'm reading this for the second time in my life. It's one of the most underrated American novels of all time, in my opinion.

Camp of the Saints, Jean Raspail

Anabasis, Xenophon

Rebecca’s Tale, Sally Beauman

The first two were recommended by a couple of posters on The Burning Platform.

Jean Raspail was depressingly prescient. He and Aldos Huxley were twentieth century prophets.

The Camp of the Saints begins with an invasion from the Third World and builds the case through narrative that the West willingly self-destructs, unable to summon enough will and belief in itself to turn back the hordes.

Yes, very prescient.

Book 9 of the Harry Hole (that’s pronounced “wholly”) series. Norwegian Noir, good stuff.

Re-reading as many of America's founding documents and writings of the founding period as possible!

Reason? The reason is that the upcoming 2016 elections are critical to the future of the nation, and liberty lovers must focus on and rededicate themselves to what Jefferson called, "the essential principles" of liberty, freedom and safety.

A reliable and ready source of reference for such documents is:

New Grisham. Pretty good, much better than the last.

Just finished all the books from Mark Gimenez, also court dramas, but all based in different cities in Texas. Learned much about the state from the series.

Next up Connelly’s new one with Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller.

“The Survivor” the first novel in the Mitch Rapp series
written after the untimely death of creator of the series
Vince Flynn. The new author, Kyle Mills has done a fine job on this book and carries on Flynn’s works rather nicely.

Also starting today, “Crusader Castles” by T.E. Lawrence.
