We’re often asked to give a reading list to people. The following books should have been read by every high school graduate and therefor every college graduate. Looking for a gift that will make a difference in their lives? These are a great start.
Amazon stocks them:
1984, George Orwell
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
Liberty and Tyranny, Mark R. Levin
The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World, W. Cleon Skousen
The Federalist Papers
The Anti-Federalist Papers
Animal Farm, George Orwell
Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
Obviously, although not books, one should have read The United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
