Conservatives in America, what books are you reading?
What are the last 5 books you have read? I have found myself reading a whole lot more now, and much of what I am reading I should have read before, others are what made me read them.
For me, the last 5 books I have read are
Liberty and Tyranny, which then made me re-read
Bantam's book The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United State
also made me read The Federalist Papers
Liberal Fascism, I finally read that one through
and The Giver
Currently reading The Reagan Diaries
How about you?
It's already an intersting list of books.
I just picked up The Road to Surfdom, and was drawing a blank on Milton Friedman or I would have picked up Free To Choose, and have heard very good things about The 5000 Year Leap.
I also just picked up The Anti-Federalist Papers. I plan to read The Road to Surfdom before I read the Constitution, The Federalist Papers, and the Anti-Federalist Papers as a grouping.
I am just more interested in what other conservatives are reading. I tend to read for information and use television for entertainment. I rarely read for entertainment.
And yes, while my Good Book is called Torah, I read Torah on a regular basis.
Oh, and as for Angry chick, why yes, yes we can read. Hd you read the bastion of newspapers The New York Times, you would have seen something sitting on top of the best-sellers chart in the book section called "Liberty and Tyranny". I don't think that most buyers are using it for a door stop. Conservatives tend to know that you can get a big heavy rock out back for cheap and because of our conservative nature, we would look for the least costly solution to the problem of keeping the door open, as opposed to the liberal who would ask government to hold their door open.

I'm not only reading these because i want to be a ''stronger conservative'' but rather find what made our country strong in the first place, and then understand our fore fathers way of thinking to fully understand their ideals! (the bible should be your first read daily!)
1. Free To Choose - Milton Friedman
2. Launching a Leadership Revolution - Chris Brady, Orrin Woodward
3. Economics in one Lesson - Henry Hazlitt
4. 10 Big Lies about America - Michael Medved
5. New Tolerance - Bob Hostetler
and anything on Leadership in between those and anything on the Constitution... because we not only need to help re-educate! but we need to unlearn what we have learned through the past and current few administrations as our culture has slowly been shifting!
Hope this helps! I love the book The Giver as well... and I purchased the Reagan Diaries as i read this :).

Umm, as for the "Mein Kampf" joke, Hitler was a socialist. True Conservatism is about minimal government interference in all aspects of your life. That means low taxes, as much power as possible handed over to local governments, and no moral crusading. Hitler was opposed to all of those concepts. Maybe you should educate yourself before making knee jerk condemnations and accusations.

Books? I don't have time to read books because I am working too hard to pay the bills for the gov't bail outs while trying to raise a child and take care of my husband. Yeah books, I remember those!
