Witness is one of the great books of the 20th century. It is a tragedy that so few read it anymore. I rank it as one of the finest books I have ever read, up there with C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce and Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings.

I doubt this would make a Top 10 list but I'm currently reading Tom Wolfe's "A Man in Full." Actually I'm re-reading it as I first read it when it came out about 10 years ago.

In general, I find Tom Wolfe's books to be good conservative reading. I'm not entirely sure what Wolfe's political leanings are but there is no way a true liberal could be writing these books.

Did You Ever See a Dream Walking, a collection of conservative essays edited by Buckley in the late 60's. Parts are tough going, but it's well worth the effort.

I would add "Basic Economics: A Citizens Guide to the Economy" by Thomas Sowell. It's an engaging explanaintion of the economy from a conservative point of view.

I would also add Hayek and Friedman's "The Road to Serfdom" to really understand what we have to lose.

You are off to a good start. Others might be "Free To Choose" by Milton Friedman and "Up From Liberalism" by WFB in his prime.

"As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen.

It's not specifically conservative, but an excellent, and short, read.

I recommend Ann Coulter's books...I really liked Slander and Godless.

Laura Ingraham's book Shut Up & Sing was a really good book.

Also, with so much attention on our court system lately its book to look back at Robert Bork's book written after his USSC nomination called The Tempting of America.
