@Zyzz Why so?

2018-02-17 00:41:07 UTC [Literature Club #discussion_botm]  

Anyone who gives a fair platform to JT is pretty much redeemed.

2018-02-17 00:42:26 UTC [Literature Club #discussion_botm]  

@Zyzz Completely fair

2018-02-17 01:08:53 UTC [Literature Club #discussion_botm]  

Although, to be fair, that's not exactly proof

2018-02-18 00:19:26 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

@Zyzz Hmm. Lemme look through the collection.

2018-02-18 00:27:04 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

@Karl Definitely a great recommendation.

2018-02-18 00:39:04 UTC [Literature Club #general]  

@John O - Lol, what's going on?

2018-02-18 00:40:11 UTC [Literature Club #general]  

He hasn't read it?? But good idea. Hope that goes well.

2018-02-18 00:41:13 UTC [Literature Club #general]  

Sorry, can't go. Unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons. Hope you all have a fantastic time!

2018-02-18 00:42:12 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

@Zyzz Ok, so I would definitely start with the book @Karl recommended. Great primer.

2018-02-18 00:43:29 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

This is the first part of a set which is a sweeping overview of Western development. Also slightly biased.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393249682362728458/414582664750694410/IMG_20180217_194230.jpg

2018-02-18 00:44:13 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

This is the second book in a series that's older and more detailed. Not a long read if you commit.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393249682362728458/414582845332258816/IMG_20180217_193751.jpg

2018-02-18 00:45:58 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

If you have the money, I would consider picking up a set of history books by Will and Ariel Durant. Biased (easy to clear through) but incredibly holistic. The only part that's completely inaccurate is in relation to the French Revolution.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393249682362728458/414583288225595393/IMG_20180217_193153.jpg

2018-02-18 00:48:40 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

Lastly, this might be almost unfindable, but it's a four part series on the history of the world (really just the West). Written in 1890. Mildly anti-Catholic, so be warned. Absolutely fantastic in depth.

2018-02-18 00:49:05 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

Sorry, this is the pic

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393249682362728458/414584071373586452/IMG_20180217_194658.jpg

2018-02-18 00:50:50 UTC [Literature Club #general]  

Let me know how it goes though!

2018-02-18 00:51:58 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

Also! Forgot! This is a wonderful overview of the people, places, and ideas that have shaped the Western cultural landscape.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393249682362728458/414584798510579712/IMG_20180217_194924.jpg

2018-02-18 00:53:05 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

This one is great too, in terms of familiarizing oneself with differences in regional culture.

2018-02-18 00:55:21 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

If anyone is interested, some of these books are out for loan, so feel free to message if you want one to borrow. @everyone

2018-02-18 00:57:37 UTC [Literature Club #american_history]  

This is an absolutely essential series written by Edward Ellis in 1895.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393250291862208512/414586218794450946/IMG_20180217_195611.jpg

2018-02-18 00:59:18 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

@John O - Thank you?

2018-02-18 01:03:31 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

Thanks :) Just my job, lol.

2018-02-18 01:05:54 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

Oi Vey. Sounds serious

2018-02-18 01:24:32 UTC [Literature Club #american_history]  

@CarletonJ Actually, I believe this is a condensed version for only $5.71

The History Of Our Country: From The Discovery Of America To The Present Time (1905) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0548638004/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_iwnIAbAF2X04V

2018-02-18 01:32:22 UTC [Literature Club #american_history]  

@CarletonJ If you're adding books, get Uprising by David Irving. Accurate account of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. (JQ included)
Bonus - if you email him, he'll send you an autographed copy of any of his works. Actually, he responds to any and all emails. Super epic.

2018-02-18 01:59:31 UTC [Literature Club #real_estate]  

Never too early to start thinking about passing wealth on to your children. :)

@John O - That's a great mindset! Super glad to hear it!

2018-02-18 17:30:06 UTC [Literature Club #general]  

Welcome!

2018-02-19 21:42:47 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good book on their Spanish heritage. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ

2018-02-19 22:24:12 UTC [Literature Club #european_history]  

@Zyzz Lol, glad you asked. Just picked this up on Amazon. 100% recommend. There's another good one that I'll post later.

Also, anything by Antonio Primo de Rivera is absolutely essential!

@celticflame What percentage of your husband's co-workers could be defined as "diversity hires?"

For anyone interested, Gallego is the language of Galicia. It's closer to Portuguese, even though the region is in Spain. (https://www.omniglot.com/writing/galician.htm)

2018-02-24 06:10:26 UTC [Literature Club #language]  

There is a Galician nationalist newspaper published in Gallego: El Correo Gallego. (http://www.elcorreogallego.es)

2018-02-24 06:12:13 UTC [Literature Club #language]  

For anyone interested in learning Spanish, Duolingo is a great primary.

2018-02-24 06:14:46 UTC [Literature Club #language]  

If you are interested in intermediate or learning by immersion, you might want to look into reading some essays by Juan Donoso Cortez; Spanish author, conservative and Catholic political theorist, and diplomat.ย 

Counter-currents posted an article about him (https://www.counter-currents.com/2010/12/juan-donoso-cortes/)

What's everyone's opinion on marking up books? Like highlighting and such.

Rosetta Stone is fantastic! My dad has the German program and LOVES it!

@Deleted User Yes. He's on an intermediate level currently.

@Olivia M I'm not sure about that. He has it for a desktop. Great question though. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

2018-02-24 15:46:51 UTC [Literature Club #language]  

@Deleted User Yes, Duolingo is fantastic.

@everyone The Mises Institute has hundreds of books that are free to download in PDF form. Yes, this is a free service and there are no copyright restrictions. (https://mises.org/library/books)

2018-02-24 15:50:13 UTC [Literature Club #economics]  

Highly recommend starting with "Liberty or Equality, the Challenge for Our Times" (https://mises.org/library/liberty-or-equality-challenge-our-time)

2018-02-24 15:52:03 UTC [Literature Club #economics]  

Also, "Democracy, the God that Failed" by Hans Hoppe is amazing. (https://mises.org/library/democracy-god-failed-1)

2018-02-24 15:53:28 UTC [Literature Club #general]  

Great point, but what about for older books?

2018-02-24 15:58:19 UTC [Literature Club #economics]  

A high-trust society naturally tends toward subsidiarity (i.e. Libertarianism) ๐Ÿ˜‰
