7. Brave New World Revisited

I just finished Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World Revisited" (1958) and I highly recommend it to those who have not already read it. It is a collection of essays, many of which compare Huxley's version of the totalitarian state with that of Orwell. While the essays are not nearly as approachable as is his "Brave New World", they are well worth the effort. Huxley writes extensively about propaganda and how it will be used by both democracies and authoritarian states in the future. Huxley is startlingly prescient and his predictions may outrage you due to their proximity with reality. To be fair, much of his thought is an extension of his knowledge of the writings of Hitler and his propaganda ministers; and their written methodologies are strikingly similar to those employed by our present administration and, to a lesser extent, by both parties.

11. Gone For Soldiers, by Jeff Shaara

Polk may have been as bad a president as the shrub -- from the general's point of view, anyway.

Kitty Kelley's book next, maybe. Or I may just reread the Aubry series, starting from Master and Commander. See you next year.

[AgadorSparticus]
