The problem with the recent, popular conservative books is that they tend to say roughly the same thing. At some point there is nothing further to be gained by reading them.
However, some of the unpopular current conservative books are excellent. Try to find something by Roger Scruton if you can.
I have the Gallic War, but no Tacitus unless it’s part of a combined Harvard Classics volume. My collection is much better in Greek/Hellenic and Medieval works. Our new house is only about 3.5 hours from you, so you’ll probably need to take the van.
That's a good point.
I've been wanting to read the Gallic War again (haven't looked in the Meck. library catalog, though). If you FReepmail us your US Mail address, maybe I'll declare a field trip this fall and show up on your doorstep to trade cakes for books!
If you haven’t already, I would recommend the Claremont Review of Books. It’s a quarterly publication from the Claremont Institute; it’s not expensive and the articles are very good.
