Books you should know about
I was fortunate to spend the evening drinking and talking with a group of generous and witty conservatives, and came away with more than gladness and singleness of heart. One of them was my friend Roger Kimball, publisher of Encounter Books, who passed along Ross Clark's The Road to Big Brother: One Man's Struggle Against the Surveillance Society
Encounter, it should be said, is filling a critical niche by publishing important and decidedly serious books that will appeal to conservatives who need more than the lower brow stuff (from the right and left) that sits in heaps in the big bookstores. If the right is going to stand a chance in the war of ideas that it is now losing, it is going to need more of that. Encounter's list is great start.

I am such a sucker for book posts. Amazon must have known that when it invented (pirated) single click that people like me would never be able to resist. I hope you make a commission from my purchase.

I do, and very much appreciate the business. Indeed, any time you want to tip me or any other blogger, click through a blog's Amazon link to get there. The blogger will get a bit for everything you buy, even if you do not buy the item in the link.
