The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) 497 reviews Robert Spencer
Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2005

Let me add my voice in support of all of the others who have given this book 5 stars.

The First World War 197 reviews John Keegan
Vintage, 2000

+ Essential Reading for background on World War One
Over the last year, I have read a lot of books on WWII, and some on the Winter War in Finland and the Spanish Civil War. I was ready for a general overview of WWI and bought Keegan's book based on Amazon reviews. I have to think the "Civilization" review got it right as "The best one-volume ...

Principles Of Personal Defense 32 reviews Jeff Cooper
Paladin Press, 2006
Seminal work
+ Must read for serious students of self defense + Excellent advice, but not really a book
This is an outstanding work on a much-avoided subject. While we would very much like to pretend that our society is violence free (at least as far as it pertains to us individually), the sad reality is that this is not the case. Cooper's writing on this topic is spot on, his prose is a study in ...

The Wealth of Nations (Modern Library) 63 reviews Adam Smith
Modern Library, 1994
a classic
+ Monumental Importance
It's a big book, but not in any way complicated. In a nutshell, it details the mechanisms by which personal liberty -- accompanied by personal responsibility and a just system of government -- make nations, and the individuals who live in them, wealthy. I had a Marxist professor who did not like ...

Smerconish maintains that we've all become muzzled in the world of political ...

A Summer of Faulkner: As I Lay Dying/The Sound and the Fury/Light in August (Oprah's Book Club) 71 reviews William Faulkner
Vintage, 2005
Challenging and thought-provoking
+ A challenging read + Great American literature
These novels are not to be read for sheer pleasure, but rather for the challenge and the depth. They are not easy to read, though *Light in August* is the easiest of the three. The prose is so difficult at times that I needed to reread again and again. I had to stop and take numerous breaks because ...
