Looks like Justice Thomas has been looking through my library.
One correction: Skip “To Hell with Picasso” by Johnson. It is a collection of obnoxious articles that have a much more PC bent that most of his other writing.
If you don’t feel like tackling the “Modern” tomes of his, I’d recommend, “Intellectuals” and “Enemies of Society.”
The first is a must-read and provides a close, historic, behind-the-scenes look at the intellectuals most responsible for this decrepit postmodern, socialist hell we are suffering through.
I was lucky with Johnson.
I started with The Birth of the Modern and then Modern Times. Intellectuals was followed by Creators, Churchill and Socrates.
