Concur regarding TRTS, I consider it to be one of the most important books of the twentieth century.
If you’ve never read anything by Thomas Sowell, by all means do so.
Time to read again. We are sure to relive that book with Zero in the WH.
Good Idea Pubius, please add me to the FR Book Club ping:
My reading list is long and getting longer, I use Amazon Wishlist to keep track of what I want to read.
Some of my most recent reads included:
Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy...by M. Stanton Evans
The Venona Secrets, Exposing Soviet Espionage and America’s Traitors by Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel
Comrade J by Pete Earley
Supposedly, the long awaited mini-series is to be aired on NBC in June - with Angelina as Dagney (which isn't good sign)
But, hopefully, enough of the message will leak through to wake some people up...
Add me please.
I re-read it last summer. Should be fresh enough in my mind to be a part of this discussion. Please add me to the list.
I done did rread this one about 3 years agoo, it be long, but the men be hot.
Just bought it! Add me to the list please.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Sign me up.
I’ve read as many of T Sowell’s books that I can get my hands on.
Everyone who wants to understand the lib mindset (and you need to understand them to defeat them) needs to read “Conflict of Visions”.... twice.

Sure, can’t have enough pings.
Have you read Anthem?
I’ve participated in on-line “reading groups” before and I’ve enjoyed them. However, this book isn’t really my cup of tea for a read. It’s apparently dated in terms of historical development with too many anachronisms. Since I pretty much stick to history books I don’t think I can suspend my disbelief enough to read it.
However, I will lurk on the threads for the philosophical discussion, which I expect will be quite enlightening. Feel free to ping me when the new chapters are posted for discussion.
Thanks for starting the group and also for the invite.
Mine are not only up to date, they are a few years ahead.
Atlas shrugs, we the living and the Fountainhead all helped to shape who I am. I read them a zillion years ago and only recall certain small aspects about her philosophy. (A is A objectivism etc.)She was a brilliant mind and those who only get the atheistic part of it have missed much of her philosophy which is a slight variation of free market capitalism, IMHO.
Well-written synopsis. Please include me in your club. While I may not have the liberty to participate at a level I want, and I certainly can’t guarantee any measure of erudiition when I do, I am always eager to monitor an intellectual exercise this ambitious.
