I’m currently reading “The Grand Jihad” by Andrew McCarthy.

Over the last couple of months I’ve read “The End of the Free Market” by Ian Bremmer; “Cracking the Code: by Thom Hartman; “Because They Hate” by Brigitte Gabriel; “Son of Hamas” by Mosab Hassan Yousef; “Courting Disaster” by Marc Thiessen.

Next up is “The God Who Hates” by Wafa Sultan.

"The Fox in the Hen House" by Si Kahn

Here's what Ed Hightower has to say about it...

Quote:
TURNING THE GOVERNMENT OVER TO CORPORATIONS – by Jim Hightower

While George W, the congress, and the media have us all looking south to what they call the "invasion" of America by impoverished illegal immigrants, or looking east to what they call an "endless threat" to America from hordes of fanatical Islamic terrorists - there's another, very real, but very quiet, siege taking place on our people's government... from within.


Far from being a movement of desperate poor people, this assault on democracy is being mounted by extremely wealthy and powerful guys in pinstripe suits. Theirs is a corporate assault on our public resources, public institutions, public functions - and the very idea of the common good. They fly the flag of "privatization," and their goal is to take over our public sector, essentially eliminating it and substituting corporate governance.


In an important book titled, The Fox In the Hen House, Si Kahn and Elizabeth Minnich document the startling extent to which this takeover has already happened. Corporate lobbyists, corporate-funded think tanks, and corporate-owned politicians have been pushing privatization (which is nothing but a euphemism for corporatization) for decades, with Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton willingly turning over public purposes, assets, and control to these private, anti-democratic, profit-seeking interests.

I plow through fiction, largely of the same mystery/thriller or international intrigue genres, and just finished the first Stephen King I've read in 25 years - "Under the Dome." I've just never much liked him, nor the horror genre. I quite liked it. But I have to confess that the book was personally quite flattering. That is, it's a blatant homage to several authors - chiefly Lee Childs and Michael Connelly - really COUNTLESS inside references to both, and since I'm a rabid fan of both, the book made me feel like quite an insider.

In part of June and thus far in July I've read:

John Sanford
Storm Prey

Robert Crais
The First Rule

Ted Dekker
Bride Collector

David Baldacci
Deliver Us From Evil

Scott Turow
Innocent

Greg Iles
Mortal Fear

Richard North Patterson
In the Name of Honor

Stephen King
Under the Dome

Lee Child
61 Hours

Harlan Coben
Caught

Robert Parker
Split Image

Stieg Larsson
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Stieg Larrson
The Girl Who Played With Fire

I'm sort of freaking because I have only 3 unread left on my shelf:

Janet Evanovich
Sizzling Sixteen

Jeffery Deaver
Burning Wire

Stieg Larrson
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets nest

...and then all my favorites are out of new titles for a few months. (And Larrson and Parker are gonna wait a LOT longer than that.)

I have to read every night at a minimum, and so this means next week I'll run out of fave authors and I'll have to hit the mystery fiction shelves at the library and find ANY author I've never read before who has a minimum of 5 books on the shelf.

I check them all out and read them through in chronological order. Last author I found this way and liked a lot was Peter Deutermann. Some interesting similarities with Lee Child, though Deutermann wrote most of his years before the Jack Reacher character was created.

you might want to try robert b. parker or james patterson then. if you like all of the authors above.
