I really admire your shelf; I guess in part because we have some books in common and sort of obscure ones at that. e.g. the Roger Simon book and the one about Boston's Catholic identity. But Christopher Buckley?! That turncoat!
Thanks for signing up with the Ron Paul Reading List. Please take your time to introduce yourself and participate in the discussions. Nothing's sadder than a web group full of hermits!
I agree with you on Gilder vs. Buckley. Gilder is truly a seminal thinker, able to synthesize different disciplines into a coherent framework. I read him in 1981 and he changed my life forever, literally. WFB is excellent, but never had the same impact.
Hello bjc624. Nice bookshelf, we have 68 in common, and I bet a lot more before I'm done. I notice you are a George Gilder and William Buckley fan.
You have a fascinating collection. What books have been most influential in your life?
