Interesting. I'll see if I can find any of these at my local library.

Well, at least there is one thing the current left-right divide has done that I do approve of -- he has evidently persuaded more people to read.

I was going to reread [u]1984[/U, and my local library has a long list of people waiting for them, 81 holds on 13 copie). I also ordered It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis from B&N, and I have just pre-ordered the Milo Yiannopoulos book, Dangerous.
