America Alone by Mark Steyn. Written a couple of years ago, it is more prescient than ever and a must for anyone that wants to possibly understand the next 30 years of the world.
The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes. This is a remarkable volume on the history of the Great Depression and a fantastic analysis of how the Government influenced the length and pain of the Depression.
The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers. I would imagine this would be particularly interesting for the college coed who is wondering where all the men are in the world. The answer is There Aren't Very Many and Here is Why.
Nomad by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. All though she won't admit it, one of the bravest women in the world. I don't agree with all of her philosophy but her story is a must for all women to at least try and understand.
10 Books That Screwed Up the World by Benjamin Wiker. An alternative to the clap trap that is thrown out by many liberal arts professors. Look at some of these from a different point of view.
One Shot by Lee Child. A novel with a hero that most women would love to have. A man's man, Jack Reacher is the man most men would want to be. This is just one in a series of novels with this character as the focal point--a new meaning to the term Great Samaritan.
Saving the Queen by William F. Buckley, Jr. Bill Buckley tried to write a book a year almost while skiing in Gstaad, Switzerland. This is first of his Blackford Oaks series. You will learn a bunch of new words.
There you have it. America Alone for sure and you will not make a wrong choice with any of the others, unless of course you don't want to learn anything while you read.
Thanks for the list!
