The Bible and One Second After. One is glorious and a little scary, the other is absolutely frightening.
The Gulag Archipelago. I got an abridged copy from my college roommate. It opened my eyes completely about communism and made me realize what Ronaldus Magnus was fighting against. It was instrumental in me embracing conservatism as a college sophomore. Thanks for making me read that Dave!
Oh yeah, One Second After scared the crap out of me too, Mathews.
Just finished One Second After and the follow up One Year After. Makes one think.
did you read the other 2 in the one second after trilogy?
