    I've heard Prager talk about it, just never had a chance to pick it up.

    Is that the Dennis Prager of the PragerU nonsense?

    I was looking at some reviews and they are overwhelmingly positive. I understand he does approach from a strictly Jewish POV of the Torah.

    Would seem that out of this plethora of books and best sellers cranked out by a most accomodating publishing industry, promising clarification of the current political scene while offering bombshell tidbits on every new headline, there should arise a semblance of wisdom and nation-shaking
    revelation.
    Save your money. It's another racket.

    Finally managed to finish Brave New World. That ending hits me every time.

    Now, The Crisis and a Crisis in the Life of an Actress

    yeah, that ending is just freaking brutal. I think a lot of our current "mass shootings" in the US could use a variant of those last 3 lines.


    I need to take another run through both Brave New World and 1984. Probably wouldn't hurt to refresh Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, and Fahrenheit 451, either.

    Then I need to read D'Toqueville again, which is almost as or more frightening.
