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 ...

The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel

Diane Setterfield

Washington Square Press, 2007

Brilliant
The moment I began to read, I felt like I'm suffering from an addiction. Addicted to the story that made me lost track of time. Time which seems to flow like fluid. As I move reluctantly towards the end of the novel, I tried to take it slow but it's just ...
