An excellent present for those parents and students who want to find academic institutions that have not succumbed to the ideological corruption found at Duke and other colleges and universities would be the book "Choosing the Right College." The latest edition, just published, is over a thousand pages long and goes into the campus atmosphere at numerous colleges and universities, in addition to dealing with academic questions, such as the presence or absence of a curriculum.

Thanks Mr. Sowell - grandaughter goes off to college in 2 years...

[Young Werther]

Excellent synopsis. Not only a great economist and thinker but also an outstanding book critic!

[jazusamo]

We’re in the same boat, that’ll make a nice gift. :-)

[SuziQ]

I’ll have to check the library database to see if they have these.

[jazusamo]

Yes he is, he does a book review column every so often.

Dr. Sowell for many years has been a Lion for the intellectual belief, and pursuit, of Conservatism. Long may he flourish.

Excellent! Thanks for the ping!

I’m buying new Bibles for the grandkids. I’m also looking for children’s classics. I used to see paperbacks at the dollar stores but I can’t find them anywhere now. I want them, before they go all PC. I also tutor GED classes and they are wonderful readers. I’m looking. I checked Walden’s. I was told they aren’t receiving them anymore.

Thanks for the ping.

...that’ll make a nice gift. :-)

On my wish list -
Diana West - Death of the Grown-Up: How America's Arrested Development is Bringing Down Western Civilization
Mark Moyar - Triumph Forsaken (how the left threw away the Vietnam war)
Jack Cashill - Ron Brown's Body (what really happened in that plane crash)

Forgot to add Novak's book - probably too late now for my kid to get free shipping on it from Amazon - have to buy it myself after Christmas......

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks for the ping. Will save and read later.

Try Hobby Lobby for the inexpensive children’s classics. I’ve seen them on my last several visits.

I’m buying everyone a new washing machine for Christmas, so we can go to the library in clean clothes :-).

I’m on the wait-list for Clarence Thomas’s book.
