In Praise of Prejudice: The Necessity of Preconceived Ideas
Theodore Dalrymple
Encounter Books, 2007
The Most Interesting Man in the World.
Well, Dr. Dalrymple is to me at any rate. I would place him solidly on my list of top five writers without any question. Indeed, I probably will read anything he ever writes on any subject. Yes, I agree with the other reviewers that this book is too short, but, being ...

Black Rednecks and White Liberals
Thomas Sowell
Encounter Books, 2005
Should be Mandatory reading for all High-schools
The title is deceiving. It's not a Right-Wing Anti-Liberal book, or a book complaining about Activists, or even a book pushing a political agenda.
This book should be Mandatory reading for all High-schools. If the title was a little different, I'm sure this would be ...

Willful Blindness: Memoir of the Jihad

Encounter Books, 2008
It didn't have to end like this.
It didn't have to end the way that it did, with 3000 dead and a smoking hole in lower Manhattan. We were warned. We had gotten our wake-up call. It was our choice to go back to sleep.
What makes Andrew McCarthy's book a must read for everyone is that he is not a ...
