Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription: Notes and Asides from National ReviewPM

William F. Buckley Jr.

Basic Books, 2007

Entertaining, personal, and worth returning to
With the publication of the wonderful Florence King's "STET, Damnit!" in 2003 and WFB's "Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription" in 2007, National Review books are breaking new ground in the use of profanity in titles. Which is not a field in which I would have expected ...

American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate and Beyond

E. Howard Hunt, Greg Aunapu

Wiley, 2007

Well-written Thriller!!!!
This book reads just like a mystery novel. It's easy to read and full of suspense, so I couldn't wait to turn the page to find out what happens. The pages on Watergate were especially suspenseful. This book was good from beginning to end. It's interesting to get ...

The Lexicon: A Cornucopia of Wonderful Words for the Inquisitive Word Lover

William F. Buckley Jr., Jesse Sheidlower

Harvest Books, 1998

utterly usable,licentious miscibles of miso-communist
Buckley has fashioned yet another utterly usable list stoppage, badinage of detritus waiting in abeyance for the vagaries of postmodernities force fields to scour through yet another product emanation from an impeccable vainglorious watchdog for the Ruling Classes. The ...

Amo, Amas, Amat and More (Hudson Group Books)

Eugene H. Ehrlich

Harper & Row, 1985

Seize the day...
Eugene Ehrlich's 'Amo, Amas, Amat and More' is a wonderful shorthand guide to Latin literacy for those who are struggling with Latin, or those of us who had a lot of Latin but little use since our last conjugation, er, um, examination. Gives new meaning to 'conjugal ...

God and Man at Yale

William F. Buckley

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 1977

This is one of the best books that I have read criticizing t
It was an honor to read God and Man at Yale, by William Buckley, Jr. In his book, Mr. Buckley writes (in his incredible prose that is unmatched by any other political pundit around) that the 1950s Yale has reached a turning point: it can continue to move towards ...

The Fall of the Berlin Wall

William F., Jr. Buckley

Wiley, 2004

The denouement of the Cold War...
Before reading this surprisingly succinct work by William F.Buckley, it would have been hard for me to imagine a comprehensive Cold War history consolidated into 192 pages of text. But under the amazingly capable pen of Buckley, the reader learns all the highlights ...

Nearer, My God: An Autobiography of Faith

William F. Buckley Jr.

Harvest Books, 1998

A Christian Apologist
I'm suprised he's a Mr. Buckley instead of a Dr. Buckley. His philosophical defense on Christianity are as complex and as detailed as other leading doctorate Christian Apologetic defenses by such professors as William Lane Craig and Peter Kreeft. His book is more ...

Flying High: Remembering Barry Goldwater

William F. Buckley Jr.

Basic Books, 2008

Probably the perfect Goldwater Revolution book

Miles Gone By: A Literary Autobiography

William F. Buckley

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2005

Miles still with us
Thanks to this marvelous (as usual) piece the miles gone by are still with us. I don't know why but I find myself contrasting this favorably with W. V. Quine's "The Time of My Life". While I might occasionally read Quine's autobiography for insights on his philosophy, ...

Airborne: A Sentimental Journey

William F. Buckley

Little Brown & Co (P), 1984

Not your everyday parachute adventure.
Buckley at his most relaxed. The book chronicles a trans-atlantic crossing under sail, starting with insuring that the ship is seaworthy, through picking the crew and plotting the course to the "mundane" aspects of a sea advdnture. Along the way one has the rare ...
