laneys.info Beware of Yankees, drunks, and loose women.

I was inspired recently to list the books I haven't read but really want to read.  So, I thought I'd share the list.  This list will get updated periodically as I think of the things I've forgotten.  The list is in alphabetical order.

One thing that I'd like to point out: the books Conservative Mind and Up From Liberalism are there because they were recommended to me as good for illustrating the difference between being conservative and being a Republican, as the person recommending the books to me felt that the Republican party has abandoned "true" conservatism.  I don't necessarily disagree with him, but I admit my ignorance of the difference between the two.  Anyone having similar recommendations, whether on conservatism, liberalism, or whatever, feel free to pass them along.
