I like vintage sci fi. Phillip Dick is a favorite.
Its amazing how many of his unknown short stories became major movies.

Camp of the Saints, Jean Raspail
Anabasis, Xenophon
Rebecca’s Tale, Sally Beauman
The first two were recommended by a couple of posters on The Burning Platform.
Jean Raspail was depressingly prescient. He and Aldos Huxley were twentieth century prophets.
The Camp of the Saints begins with an invasion from the Third World and builds the case through narrative that the West willingly self-destructs, unable to summon enough will and belief in itself to turn back the hordes.
Yes, very prescient.

Book 9 of the Harry Hole (that’s pronounced “wholly”) series. Norwegian Noir, good stuff.

Re-reading as many of America's founding documents and writings of the founding period as possible!
Reason? The reason is that the upcoming 2016 elections are critical to the future of the nation, and liberty lovers must focus on and rededicate themselves to what Jefferson called, "the essential principles" of liberty, freedom and safety.
A reliable and ready source of reference for such documents is:

New Grisham. Pretty good, much better than the last.
Just finished all the books from Mark Gimenez, also court dramas, but all based in different cities in Texas. Learned much about the state from the series.
Next up Connelly’s new one with Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller.

Lord of the Rings has been on all week. I watch it again and again. It "rings" true.
Pun intended. SORRY.

“The Survivor” the first novel in the Mitch Rapp series
written after the untimely death of creator of the series
Vince Flynn. The new author, Kyle Mills has done a fine job on this book and carries on Flynn’s works rather nicely.
Also starting today, “Crusader Castles” by T.E. Lawrence.

I don't know for absolute fact this is true but I read the other day that only Stephen King has had more stories made into movies. I'm a huge PKD fan and I'm kinda sorta rereading Scanner Darkly when I let the battery in my Kindle go dark and had to go to analog backup...
Meanwhile I'm truly enjoying the Monster Hunter International series by Larry Correia. Fantasy like it used to be.
