20. Anthem by Ayn Rand
Somewhat ironically, uber propertarian Rand failed to renew the copyright on one of her earliest works of fiction, making it public domain in the United States.

First published in 1938, Anthem is a dystopian story presented as a secret diary. The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, lives in a socialist civilization so totalizing that not only has technology regressed to a medieval level, but even the word “I” has been forbidden. While exploring the ruins outside the collectivist town he lives in, Equality discovers a hidden tunnel that contains scientific wonders from the “Unmentionable Times” and he proceeds to conduct secret scientific experiments. But the socialist Councils that rule his society have no interest in labor-saving technologies, and worse, consider Equality a traitor for discovering them.

A few years ago, I readThe Great Idea by Henry Hazlitt (New York: Appleton Century Croft, 1951), the original title of Time Will Run Back (New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House, 1966), which is on the list. Although I found it enjoyable, it seemed to be more of a treatise on economics with the trappings and veneer of a novel than a real work of fiction.

It would be nice to see dates on all of them.

My book club is reading that this month.

I was pleased to see my Facebook friend Michael Z Williamson’s book Freehold there. I’ve read it a few times and found the occasional surprise I missed the first read. He has a number of follow-on books about Grainne that are also entertaining.

But you will have to buy them, he doesn’t write for free, you know < VBEG >
