“Against The Fall of Night”,by Michael Arnold...again. Anyone interested in Byzantine history would enjoy this.
Memoirs by U.S. Grant - not what I expected at all.
Rereading The Road to Serfdom by F. Hayek.
Just finished House to House, a memoir of Fallujah by David Bellavia. Absolutely harrowing.

just finished--- Sitting It Out, A World War II POW Memoir, by David Westheimer
A History of the American People - Paul Johnson
Prayer for Beginners - Peter Kreeft
I finally read The Fountainhead.
I am reading “Nietzsche and the Nazis” by Stephen Hicks. This books does an excellent job of pointing out the similarities and differences between Nietzsche and the Nazis. It is also alarming, because I see so much of the socialist agenda being carried out in our country today. It seems that we are doomed to repeat history.
This is a book everyone should read..
The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse
by Fernando Ferfal Aguirre
just finished
Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality by Christopher Ryan, Ph.D. & Cacilda Jethá, M.D.
Galileo’s Daughter by Dava Sobel (1999). Surprisingly good—excellent historical detail.
God and Man at Yale by W.F.Buckley,Jr. It was written in 1951 and he precisely describes the faculty of Yale as being anti-Christian (with documentation, of course) and pro-Keynesian (collectivists)also, well-documented. He scours the textbooks used which were very friendly to Karl Marx and his ideology.
Not surprising that the “intellectuals” that produced anti-Christians, pro-Keynesians are in control of all governmental institutions today.....the results of our educational system is being felt and Buckley warned us in 1951 about the type of “intellectuals” his alma mater was spitting out. What an amazing intellectual at the young age of 22 years. Fascinating!!!!
Instead you ask me this week, when I just started leafing through a compilation of Warhammer 40K war stories.
And we're not talking about the high end Dan Abnett ones, we're talking the ones where somebody yells "Blood for the Blood God!!!" every few pages.
Well, there you go, LOL.
The Pensees - Blaise Pascal
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America , by Erik Larson.
Halfway through.
Alternately fascinating and horrifying. Explains a lot, too...
“Sarah takes on Big Oil”.
“Wyatt Earp Speaks” by Wyatt Earp and John Richard Stephens.
Half Broke Horses and Glass Castle, both by Jeanette Walls.
Mysteries, by Colin Wilson. CW's works are enjoyable even if the author is, well....either very naive and gullible or dumb as a stump. (His historical/crime works are superior to his occult works IMO.)
I am working my way through the 26 volume set, Man, Myth and Magic ed Richard Cavendish. I am up to volume 19 (started in January 2010).
And the Sept/Oct issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine-just picked that up yesterday.
