Conservative Victory by Sean Hannity (Classics, Literary Fiction, Biography) It contains mini-biographies of Reagan and Obama. It recounts Reagan's successes in economic growth through fostering a free-market with low taxes and in foreign policy through causing the collapse of the Soviet Union with resultant freedom in Eastern Europe. It details the radical, failed policies of Obama in the same arenas--economics and foreign policy. It forecasts the incredible debt that will fall to succeeding American generations. -- Added by 6th_gen_hoosier on 01/20/2013 Add Comment

The Fixer by Bernard Malamud (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) This book won a Pulitzer Prize for literature. It conveys the anti-Semitism of the Czarist era. We see how a persecuted and wrongly-imprisoned unimportant individual, who is only a fixer, deals with years of mistreatment and rises in value. One does not "enjoy" the book; one reads it for understanding. -- Added by 6th_gen_hoosier on 01/09/2013 Add Comment
