Dostoyevsky – The Brothers Karamazov
Joe Sobran – Single Issues (a little known collection of his essays – just brilliant)
Thomas Bethell – The Electric Windmill (essays)
James Burnham – Suicide of the West (the book that made me understand Liberalism)
R.F. Delderfield – The Avenue series (two novels chroniciling Britain from the end of WWI to the end of WWII. Not great prose, but a true-to-life picture of what it was like)
Wolfgang Samuel – German Boy: A Child in War
T.S. Eliot poems
George Gilder – Men and Marriage
Ayn Rand – Atlas Shrugged
Robert Higgs – Crisis and Leviathan (how gov’t uses crisis to grab power)
G.K. Chesterton – anything and everything
