Historia
"The Israel Lobby" by John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt was one of the most controversial articles in recent memory. Now in a work of major importance, Mearsheimer and Walt deepen and expand their argument and confront recent developments in Lebanon and Iran. They describe the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds.

Anyone still delusional enough to deny that our efforts to establish a peaceful home have been utterly disgraced by murderous fools hate-mongering genovidal racists, beginning with David Ben-Gurion and Menachim Begin, MUST read this book

Historia
In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

Seminal work that eviscerates Woke Racism
Revisado: 04-28-22
Douglas Murray is cultural equivalent in the 2020s to what Churchill was in the 1930s. He delineates the threats, tactics, and psychosis that lies at the heart of modern Left's efforts to undermine the epistemological and ethical foundation of civilization itself. He's a herald, a harbinger, and a hero.

Historia
Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them 20 years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. It is 1779, and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.

The Outlander series was my first foray into audiobooks, and part of the reason I have devoured nearly 100 books a year. This narrator has the best voice of everyone other than Denny Delk from Huckleberry Finn

Historia
In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider's guide to the variety of ways today's mainstream media tells us lies. In the internet age, the press have mastered the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust. Taibbi, who has spent much of his career covering elections in which this kind of manipulative activity is most egregious, provides a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism's dirty tricks.

Historia
Thirty-five years ago, Mario Puzo's great American tale, The Godfather, was published, and popular culture was indelibly changed. Now, in The Godfather Returns, acclaimed novelist Mark Winegardner continues the story, the years not covered in Puzo's best-selling book or in Francis Ford Coppola's classic films.

The third installment in Mario Puzo's epic chronicle of the Corleone crime family - one of the most enduring lineages in American literature and cinema - achieves a stunning crescendo with a story that imagines the role of the Mafia in the assassination of a young, charismatic president.

Should have been called Fausto's Bargain
Revisado: 07-23-21
... because it's more of a spin-off fan fiction. And while the first one was mediocre at best, and didn't do much for the existing characters and their story arcs, it at least left open the potential for a reasonably entertaining conclusion, rather than the CONVULSION that ended this book. Nick Geraci wasn't terribly interesting from the beginning, and was completely unknown to readers. Yet, HE is the main character. And just when he becomes sympathetic, we're expected to believe that he'd attempt to orchestrate some sort of miraculous rags-to-godfather story, only to become some sort of goofball comic book villain during the last act of the entire series.
I will say, normally I hate the sound of Scott Brick's narration. Soooo overdone. Maudlin. But somehow, it felt like the perfect way to warn listeners that the fingernail on chalkboard feeling they experience when listening to this book reflects the quality of the story, as well.
Anyone interested in an actual tribute to the Corleone family should actually try Ed Falco's "The Family Corleone"

George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture, quoted so often that we tend to forget who wrote the original words! This must-read is also a must-listen!

I mean, what else is there to say...
Revisado: 12-01-20
... other than that we should all be worried about the similarities between political correctness and "animalism". Perhaps the end result likely won't be gulags and purges, but ideological retaliation is simply human nature. And when it comes in the form of people who have actually convinced themselves that they AREN'T engaging in vindictiveness, or who are willing to aid in their own downfall out of a misplaced sense of guilt and self-righteousness.
The work of Orwell is approaching 100 years old. And has never been more relevant.

Historia
Was America founded on the auction block in Jamestown in 1619 or aboard the Mayflower in 1620? The controversy erupted in August 2019 when the New York Times announced its 1619 Project. The Times set to transform history by asserting that all the laws, material gains, and cultural achievements of Americans are rooted in the exploitation of African Americans. Historians have pushed back, saying that the 1619 Project conjures a false narrative out of racial grievance.

REQUIRED reading if you care about education
Revisado: 11-20-20
This book unequivocally eviscerates the arguments of charlatan activist Nicole Hannah-Jones, and exposes the pernicious agenda of Jake Silverstein and the once-great New York Times and the Pulitzer Center.
Wood does so with blistering accuracy and the tale about the many ways that these unforgivably mendacious text are attempting pushed a destructive narrative that infantilizes people of color and attempts to undermine anything of value that existed in the foundation of our country. I am a lifelong proud Democrat, but I was absolutely disgusted by what Jones and the New York Times are attempting to foist upon both the public at large, and more pernicious lie, our children.
If your school system is considering the adoption of this scandalously fallacious 1619 curriculum, send copies of this book to every member of the school board.

Historia
Deadeye Dick is Kurt Vonnegut's funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrors - a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bomb - Rudy Waltz, aka Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe...and who we say we are.

One of my favorite Vonnegut books
Revisado: 08-17-20
Classic Vonnegut. The first writer to make me fall in love with literature. I don't know what it is that he's truly saying, but I feel like I get it, all the same. And it is always hilariously funny, and wistfully melancholic at the same time. He straddles the line between hope and despair with trenchant sarcasm that never quite becomes cynicism. I don't know. I'm just smart enough to know there's something there and enjoy it, but not smart enough to know what it is or why it is important.

Historia
'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

... especially in a culture in which so many people are interested in mindfulness, but end up only reinforcing the very dualistic conception of consciousness that they are ostensibly trying to overcome. So much modern woo is self-aggrandizing. This explains first principles of nondualism in elegant simplicity.
