Winter Reads

Autumn is now upon us, and with that comes the sudden approach of winter.  Time to hunker down to some good reads.  Here is a list of some of the books I read last winter that you might find interesting – at least they will give you a clue of how we have gotten into the mess that we are in today:

1.  10 Books that Screwed up the World:  And 5 Others That Didn’t Help, by Benjamin Wiker.

With a title like that, this book BEGS to be read.  Who can resist picking up a title like that?

2.  Liberal Fascism:  The Secret History of the American Left, by Jonah Goldberg.

A very good book that provides some historical perspective on the left, the kind they would rather you didn’t find out about.  All critiques of this book have been ad hominem attacks against the author.  The left can’t debate the facts, so as usual they try to destroy the messenger.

3.  The Return of the Great Depression, by Vox Day.

A very readable book about our current economy that is actually interesting.  Vox Day is also one of the few people that predicted the mess we are currently in.

4.  The Secrets of the Federal Reserve, by Eustace Mullins.

This one will tick you off.  We have been lied to about the “Federal” reserve since its inception.  There is nothing “Federal” about it.  It is a private corporation that controls your money.  This book exposes the true history of this powerful corporation.

5.  The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), by Robert Spencer

O.K., as an admission I have actually read the Koran twice.  So while not an expert, I know what it actually says.  This is another book that the critics don’t refute but engage in more ad hominem attacks.

I picked up this book after a co-worker was telling me about his special forces neighbor who has been training our “allies” in various Islamic countries.  My friend stated what I was thinking, “why in the green God’s world are we training the enemy in advanced fighting techniques?”  Sadly, I fear those in power have fallen prey to the politically correct mantra that Islam is a religion of peace.

If you want to know more about the true enemy we face, read the Koran, and read this book.

I believe most if not all of these books are available from Amazon in the Kindle format, which makes them even cheaper and handier.

Are you reading anything particularly interesting?  I’m always up for a good read and would love to hear from you.
