Books to read

I love reading! Now that might not seem crazy to you but to know me growing up it would sound a bit off edge. I never read growing up. I would read a newspaper article about my schools sporting events but rarely anything else. In fact I am embarrassed to say that I rarely read the required reading from high school classes. But now that I am a smarter or more intelligent person, I will let you know that I love reading. Here are some books that you should consider reading if you like or somewhat are interested in where I get many of my ideas and joy of our great country.

For starters lets begin with interesting readings that might contradict ideas we believe to be common sense.

More Liberty Means Less Government- Walter Williams
-This book is one of if not my favorites.
Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism- Walter Williams
-This is much like the first book
-Both these books are a collection of his articles so there are plenty of places to stop reading and pick back up when most convenient.
Economic Facts and Fallacies- Thomas Sowell
-This is a very interesting book by a great writer.


After reading those books which should be interesting reads you might be open and would love to learn a bit about economics. Especially for you young people who are still considering a degree. Economics is needed and a great background for a future lawyers who might want to get into politics at some point.

Basic Economics- Thomas Sowell
Applied Economics-Thomas Sowell

You will learn all you have to know about economics from these two books. You won't be an economist but you will know whether you want to pursue further education. These books also do the best job of explaining a subject that most people believe is very confusing


For you who love history and want to learn more about our history and specifically an overview of our nation. These two books will go through our complete history and be like a survey of American History.

America: The Last Best Hope Volume I and II- William Bennett

For you who love specific history and more details of certain people or events read anything by the author David Macullough
