The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot - by Naomi Wolf

End of America is a fantastic book, well written and researched. Naomi Wolf can be found on a Youtube interview which I recomend everyone see.

For your neocon friends - Breach of Trust by Tom Coburn.
This is the book that finally opened my eyes to the hypocrisy of the Republican leaders like Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott. In this book Coburn blows the whistle on what happened after the election of 94 and why the "Contract With America" went down in flames. You can get the book used at Amazon for a few dollars.

Brave New World- Aldous Huxley
Molon Labe- 'Boston T. Party'
The Last Town On Earth- Thomas Mullen, partly anti war/anti draft, set during WW1, main characters are a mix of socialist/capitalists, (however they arn't bad, just want to be left alone) also explores people interactions and their values when bad things happen.

I recomend reading a lot of the non-fiction books. In particular anything from mises.org store. Some of the fiction is great and entertaining but it doesn't help you in a actual conversation with someone about the issues they touch upon.

Use as a model the book by ex-Communist Douglas Hyde, Dedication and Leadership. Get there early. Stay late. Be helpful. Gain people's trust. Say little. Then, when some disaster is proposed, calmly give reasons why it should not be supported.

Dedication and Leadership - Douglas Hyde

Leftism Revisited: From De Sade and Marx to Hitler and Pol Pot
by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

[smileylovesfreedom]

For some good 20th Century non-fiction reads, I would look at this readers list...

http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlib...onfiction.html

Yes, that really is Random House's website. They had an internet poll going sometime around 2000 and you can only guess what groups were dominating that poll with those results

Ok, Random House, I'll go read "101 things to do til the Revolution"...thanks for the suggestion

And one other quick note on the list - #24 Death by Government by R.J. Rummel is a good history lesson on why you don't want the gov't to get too much power...just ask the 170+ million who were murdered by their own gov't in the 20th century

Keep up the good fight everyone - we have to do better in this century. We can't let history repeat itself!

[Conza88]

Read:

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

and

Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

Really, I'm giving you all a book list, read it.

Reading these books just may save your sanity.

Suggested by someone at dailypaul.

Ron Paul - The Revolution, a Manifesto.

Day of Reckoning by Pat Buchanan

If you only have one "current events" type book on the list, this would be the one since it is mostly about the dangerous path this country is taking thanks to neoconservatives and liberals.

Personally, I still think "The Death of the West" was his best book. Day of Reckoning is nice, but The Death of the West lays everything out with statistics and numbers. DoR spends a lot of time talking about how idiotic the neocons are, but we all know that already.

People probably don't realize the population problems that are detail in the death of the west, and I doubt they're covered in any libertarian literature.

[Conza88]

Rightio, completely updated. Sections added, along with some new books from great lists I've found. Continue to add, or if you have any subject suggestions go for it.
