TwitterCONS recommend some books
I really need to shut down my AUDIBLE account – it allows you to purchase books on tape and upload them to your IPhone. This is terribly handy, but it a subscription service which means they got their hands in my pockets every month, so I need to download some books, and move on. I thought I would roll the wheel of Twitter, and see what recommendations for conservative books would pop out of it.. SO here they are!
More recommendations are welcome!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
These are books I’ve already read, and thoroughly enjoyed. In my opinion, you have to read these in order to be informed about modern history that supports a conservative worldview, and what that worldview is. Some aren’t even necessarily partisan in themselves…
America Alone – Mark Steyn: Great read forecasting the inevitable future based on demographics of birth rates in Europe and America. He’s a great writer that makes you laugh while you read about the coming European catastrophe… (recommended also by @gregzimmerman, @sonof_liberty
Liberal Fascism – Jonah Goldberg: A great look at the early history of progressives and their philosophical and political ties to fascism.
The Looming Tower – Wright : Historical account of the events leading up to 9/11 – chilling and incredibly informative.
The Nuclear Jihadist : Another historical account of how Pakistan got the nuclear bomb and the international community’s failure to stop it, mostly because of a “failure of imagination.”
Right Turns – Michael Medved: A great autobiography of Medved, one of the most intelligent radio talk show hosts in the country.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:

Ride the Thunder – Richard Botkin (via CCC6)
The Forgotten Man – Amity Shlaes – A conservative account of the FDR years that argues against the popular notion that he saved America from the Great Depression through gov’t spending. A salient book for modern times. (via @CCC6)

other CONSERVATIVE NOVELS
Vince Flynn, Daniel Silva, Brad Thor (via photog357)
RON PAUL nuttiness: I haven’t read these. I don’t like his 3rd party views, even though I think some of his ideas are good. I would encourage reading these less than the others, and please don’t vote 3rd party! (via @starspangledGrl)
