Suggest a recently-published book entitled, "The Destruction of the Great American Dream," which can be found here. It is only 75 pages, but is packed with good information for understanding what is happening to America today.

The author is Co-Editor of another book on the principles of liberty which formed the foundation of the U. S. Constitution, which can be accessed at the same site.

1. The last in a 7-volume series of the complete works of Xenophon.

2. “As we Go Marching” by John T. Flynn (study of the development of fascism in Italy and Germany leading up to WWII and how we were following the same path way back in the 1940’s, and still are, by the way)

3. Still reading fellow freeper LS’s “Patriots History of the United States.”

4. “Climategate” by Brian Sussman.

Grand Jihad is worth reading.

The Remains of Company D: A Story of the Great War, by James Nelson. Vivid and intense. A fascinating read for any fan of the military history genre.

Just finished The First Air War. A nice overview.

Working on The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression. No page turner, that one.

Recently finished The Last Lion, a Churchill biography by William Manchester. Interesting read.

Also Goodbye Darkness, again by William Manchester. Reminisences of the author's time as a Marine in the Pacific theater in WWII. Enjoyed it.

i just finished “Patriots History of the United States”. it was awesome, except that it seems the 1970’s were even more depressing and awful than i remember. i was a kid so it didn’t seem that bad, guess mom and dad made it work.
i am now looking for my next book. will it be something new? or something i have read before? the suspense is awful..... what will happen... stay tuned.
in the mean time i will read my gardening and landscaping magazines and internet articles that educate me on pressure canning my veggies.

Normally I have two books going at once- one that’s good for the brain and one that’s junk food for the brain.

At the moment I’m reading Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis (about Adams, Franklin, Burr, Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton). He reminds us the division between the right and left has been going on for over two centuries. The more things change...

For my junk food book I picked up what I think is Dominick Dunne’s last book at the library- Too Much Money. It’s engaging and funny.
