Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A Book for the Intellectually Honest Seeking Truth About American History
It is very unfortunate that people use the review process to attack a book which they are very unlikely to have read. It is always fascinating that the very same people who so often lecture to all of us about "tolerance" are the least so. It is particularly bothersome ...

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Harper Fiction)

My new favorite

As I move reluctantly towards the end of the novel, I tried to take it slow but it's just ...
