The Holy Bible
A Brave New World
Animal Farm
1984
The Art of War
Mein Kampf
The Communist Manifesto
Rules for Radicals
Meditations
The Federalist Papers
I have read all of these all the way through at least twice. Each of these offers something vital to my understanding of the world from creation to now, and each offers something that the others do not. In my humble opinion, none of them can be skipped if you want to truly understand the battlefield we are on right now.
I encourage you to choose one you haven't read, and buy yourself a Christmas present.
I also would LOVE for you all to help me add to this list and find myself a little something to put under the tree.

*** I can not keep up with editing to add all the suggestions.... though Im trying to add the ones I recognize. Be sure to read the replies below for the ones Im missing. Im sure some of them are gems as well, and the people posting them will assuredly answer questions about them if you ask.
I can tell you are a peaceful man. Its good to know you.
Woodstock.... Cocker..... Beatles....
I suspect this will fit right in there; Baby Driver
I cannot thank my Mother and Family enough, for bringing in such good music into tje household. I remember the very moments a new album arrived and it went on the trun table. To live I Montreal. We had an amazing g promoter here named Donald K. Donald. He would have been a GA.win for sure. Knowing where the magic lays and bringing right into your own Coty for everyone you love to enjoy.
And this
The Weight Josh Turner and Friends
SirRupert, hear me loud and clear on this.... Remember this name; Josh Turner. He put together both the last two, Baby Driver , and the Weight. Go ye out there to the interwebs and search for everything he has recorded, and then take note of the artists he partners with on those tunes and search out their works as well..... This adventure will fill up your entire 2022, and renew your faith in our youth. They're gonna be OK, as long as we do our middle aged duty to give them a world worth inheriting.
Heres a couple more examples of what you will find as you go seeking out his colaborations;
Rocky Raccoon
Stuck in the Middle with You
And you research out who the two girls are playing on those two tunes and you run smack into these;
Ive Just seen a Face
Ramble On
Not Fade Away
And one of my all time favorite covers. and I know of literally thousands. Enjoy
