I imagine there’s a few bibliophiles on this forum who are well read and have a plethora of fascinating book recommendations in them. This is the thread for doing so.

I’ll get the ball rolling with Feargus O’Connor Greenwood’s conspiracy tome - ‘180 degrees, unlearn the lies you’ve been taught to believe’.

I imagine pretty much everyone on this forum would enjoy this book.

Another highly recommended book is Carrol Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope

Yeah, I don’t agree with him entirely, but for sure his book is interesting for the most part. He’s good at piecing things together in a coherent narrative.

Nineteen Eighty Four. My old copy has sadly disintegrated with time, and me dipping into it, yet it cannot be denied that far from a warning it is now read as a manual by the cabal running the world. I feel this more every day.

Have you read Lord of this World, by Robert Benson? The original future dystopia. Predates 1984, and Brave New World.

I heard the WEF is looking to ban books also, because they hurt trees. So it seems Fahrenheit 451 is on the way also

Can't say that I have, but I was also a great admirer of Brave New World, but not now as a lifetime of experience has shown that it was an uncomfortable hymn of praise for world government and strict control of the population using science rather than ideology as a basis for segregation and elitism. In an essay of Huxley's I later came across he was pointing to the necessity, as he saw it, for a one world government. Self appointed intellectuals like him would, of course, be running the kip. Basically it boils down to snobbishness

I am looking forward to their discussion about the Koran and Islam, their merits, or lack thereof. Any day now

Anyway, listened to this Pod by Fr Mcteige about culture, reading and how we need to make quiet time for it all.

Yes. I will. Just ask, it is your thread.

(As an aside, obviously I know the Feeneys here, https://feeneybrothers.com/about/history/
They have 700 employees and could be worth a billion dollars)

Baldy Cruise O'Brien is amused.

I have it lined up for some winter reading.

Another book worth reading is Douglas Murray’s - The Madness of Crowds book

were not all those dystopian writers, orwell, huxley and wells writing not as warning but as blueprints what they wanted. Connected by the Fabian Society. I must go and look all that up again. Dont know about Ray Bradbury, i hope he was one of the good guys. These day I much prefer my JRR Tolkien.

I'd rather poke my eyes out. Who'd do have after that? Ruth Dudley Edwards?
