    During the Clinton years I though of Randall Flagg (not the Freeper, mind you) more than once. In the movie if you look at those who are evil, you see they all are very typical liberals. You've got that right!! Which is probably why I read it so many times. I liked seeing evil destroyed.

    I'd really like something released in the past 5 years or so...somewhat up to date with the issues in politics..Any other suggestions? Try "Vision of the Anointed" by Sowell.

    An easy answer would by J.R.R. Tolkien's 
Lord Of The Rings. I have read that book several times and could easily read it again. Great literature despite what the literature snobs might say about it. And the movies, as good as they are, are no substitute at all for reading the book itself. 
But more challenging fare lies in the works of Winston Churchill. Either his 7-volume set The Second World War or his 4-volume History of the English Speaking Peoples are highly recommended. I find the WW2 series especially fascinating as Churchill himself was at the center of many of the events. As thorough an account of that war as you could ever want.
