I just finished reading my last book, a bit of history. So I was hoping to get a good dialogue here on recommendations for my next book to read. Granted it’s an open question, I’m merely opening the floor to anyone here to give a good blurb on their favorites book and why. What might interest me to buy it or read it? What’s so special about say Foundation, or Anthem, Fountainhead, heck the Wizard of Oz?
So I might as well leave one of my own. A two-part series I often enjoy is Daemon and Freedom from Daniel Suarez, I refer to them as science- eventual, a bit of science fiction but “why can’t that happen today?” kind of thing. A genius computer designer dies, leaving a system behind that infects corporations, leading to his own utopian sociatal design (no not socialism). Anyway I enjoyed it, I hope you will too.

Read Double Star of Heinlein
John Ringo – Live Free or Die (and the rest of the Troy Rising trilogy)
Robert Oulds – Montgomery and The First War on Terror
Anything by Michael Crichton. In fact, given the current fascination with viruses and nanotechnology, read Prey. Great time.
This is not my favorite book, but it’s a great palate cleanser to the perfidy of Afghanistan: Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II’s Greatest Rescue Mission, by Hampton Sides. It’s a very well-written, suspenseful account. There was a film adaptation which I didn’t bother to see; my understanding is Hollywood failed to match the quality of Sides’ book. Imagine that.
The Institutes of Christian Religion by John Calvin, Edited by Tony Lane and Hilary Osborne
John Calvin:Scripture is the Holy Spirit’s school where everything we need to know is taught and where nothing is taught that is unnecessary.
