The power of total perspective by R.E. McMaster jr. It was written in 94 so it is not up to date but has some very interesting stuff.My next book which I have already read the first chapter is another older book as well. Mortgage Free by Rob Roy.It claims to be a how to book for shedding those chains of a 30 year mortgage. I have read some others by him and he walks the talk.

Just finished reading Père Goriot by Honoré de Balzac, now reading Eugénie Grandet by the same author. Both are in translation and published by Modern Library.

Next up: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula LeGuin, Caesar and Christ by Will Durant and Greenmantle by John Buchan.

Hey guys : I maintain a website (www.brothersjudd.com) that has hundreds of book reviews each followed by links to more info about author, book & topic. Of particular interest to current posters would by Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, Dune, etc. But there are also many, many conservative books, including the National Review Top 100 (in progress) and our own Brothers Judd Top 100, nearly all of which have conservative themes. We are also doing the best conservative movies, after being dissatisfied with the National Review list. Please stop by & check us out and add your two cents. Thanks, OJ

Just finished, The Hiram Key. Excellent book, well researched and resourced, and very informative. Before that, The Murder of Tutankhamen by Bob Brier PhD, an egyptologist whose specialty is paleopathology. Another excellent book!

Down & Dirty by Jake Tapper
The Plot To Steal the Presidency.

Tapper's short missive is nothing more than a regurgitation of his own sad conclusions.

His premise and postscript blame us.

I've yet to read Bil Sammons book...FRegards,

I'll continue to suggest Dr. Gerald L. Schroeder's two books, "Genesis and The Big Bang" and "The Science of God", as well as Michael Behe's "Darwin's Black Box", and Dr. Patrick Glynn's "God, The Evidence." They give one insight into 'the big picture'! Happy reading.

I just finished "Washington: The Indespensible Man" by Thomas Flexner. It was a great book.

I also just finished "The Ten Things You Can't Say in America" by Larry Elder; and am working on "The Fountainhead".

Thanks for this thread, son.

I'm currently reading Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus.

I cast my first vote in a a presidential election for Goldwater. You know, I still wonder how different America would be today if he had won. I'm more pro-government now, though, than I was back then.
