Good Deed for the Day

Kathryn J. Lopez is looking for some good books to read on the National Review Lose Cruise aka The White Male Vote Boat.

Help a sister out.

Because right now she's getting suggestions such as "Start with anything recent by Pat Buchanan, John Derbyshire, Steve Sailer, Ron Paul, or Ian Fletcher.  The center-left commentariat which has hijacked Republicanism has a lot of unlearning to do before 2016." 

No one seems to be volunteering the work product of any writer currently affiliated with National Review, which is usually the point of these exercises.


Burying your nose in a book might not seem like the best way to spend a Carribean cruise, unless your other options are discussing the election with Scott Rasmussen, Ed Gillespie, Ralph Reed and John Fund, or a shipboard romance with Ed Whelan or Mona Charen.

Act quickly, because the Titanic leaves port on Sunday.

I tried to suggest Rogue State by William Blum but it didn't like the suggestion. I can't for the life of me imagine why.

Two of them recommended Nate Silver's book, which she really should read, but probably won't. Too much reality. She doesn't want realism, she wants magic!

For K-Lo, I'd say just about anything by Kathy Acker.

I think they should all be forced to read Doughy Pantload's latest epic on cliches.

Over and over and over again, until they're just as sick of it--and him--as the rest of us.

Gravity's Rainbow, because the topic of coprophagy seems appropriate when in the company of John Fund.

Walter Lord's, "A Night to Remember"?
