By the way, I’d you’re looking for the best thing to read about what Abraham Lincoln thought, it’s the writings of Harry V. Jaffa, especially “Crisis of the House Divided” https://t.co/5SF1G8bgqy

I mentioned this in an earlier tweet, but worth repeating that Kay Ryan’s “The Excluded Animals” is one of my favorite Christmas poems. https://t.co/KEcpMcLhAW

The October Country: Stories

Ray Bradbury
Timothy SandefurTimothy Sandefur

This is a surprisingly good book. I often find short story anthologies disappointing. But most of the stories in here—done in homage to Ray Bradbury—are quite good, especially @joe_hill’s “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain,” which is equal to anything Bradbury ever wrote. https://t.co/i8p8Cb0WqC

Isabel Paterson

Isabel Paterson was born on this day in 1886. Her book The God of the Machine offered an innovative argmt for economic freedom: the economy is literally a machine, generating & transmitting the human energy of individual creativity. https://t.co/fh6LcoKrL0 @CatoInstitute https://t.co/mHIptBfIGW

@rtlcactus @joe_hill I’ll check ‘em out. The only Anderson I’ve ever read was one of his time patrol stories (couldn’t finish it) & I’ve never tried Wolfe.

American Compact: James Madison and the Problem of Founding

Gary Rosen
Timothy SandefurTimothy Sandefur

The best biography of JM is still Ralph Ketcham’s. But I recently read Noah Feldman’s “Lives of James Madison” & liked it a lot. Banning’s “Sacred Fire of Liberty,” Miller’sBusiness of May Next,” McCoy’s “Last of the Fathers,” & Rosen’s “American Compact” are also top notch. https://t.co/on9ecPLsgR

Pragmatism: A Reader

Louis Menand
Timothy SandefurTimothy Sandefur

@Dhruvpolitics @ObjStdInstitute I’m guessing you’d really enjoy one of my favorite books, “The Metaphysical Club” by Louis Menand. It’s a history of Pragmatism. Menand himself is an admirer of Pragmatism, which of course I’m not, but he’s objective about it & his book is beautifully written—a fascinating read!

Charles Edward Merriam

Progressives—especially Woodrow Wilson—took up these arguments, brushed chattel slavery off a little bit, & offered the underlying ideology as a “modern” critique of capitalism. Thus Charles Merriam argued in “A History of American Political Theories” that pro-slavery ideology
