A Call to Action, by Jimmy Carter from 2018-09-17T07:43:52
This is my first time reading something by Jimmy Carter. He’s far more progressive than he is liberal, which I see as a negative. After reading this, I would say it’s great when speaking of foreign...

Black Book of The American Left (Vol 1), by David Horowitz from 2018-07-30T21:00

The Gulag Archipelago, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn from 2018-06-20T13:58:18

Listen
Freedom Under Siege, by Ron Paul from 2018-06-18T21:25:36
I wasn’t planning on reviewing this book because, unlike every other book I’ve read, I don’t remember a single thing about it. But I suppose that’s a reason to review it. I like Ron Paul, but this ...

1984, by George Orwell from 2018-06-04T01:59:49
Everyone knows the dystopian world in 1984, but few people know the story of the main character. That’s because the main character’s story isn’t really that worth reading. Winston is only a means t...

We The Living, by Ayn Rand from 2018-06-04T01:51:25
I consider it my least favorite of her four fiction books. The first half is rather blah, but the second half makes up for it. If you’re a fan of Ayn Rand’s other stuff, I’d say it’s worth reading....

Why Liberty, by Tom Palmer from 2018-06-04T01:46:39

Civil Rights, Rhetoric or Reality by Thomas Sowell from 2018-06-04T01:21:41
