Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

World War Z Uk Ed

This book came out of nowhere. While most Zombie related material is more or less a scare fest, this work was pure literature. It was shotgun art. It had the feel of Gonzo literature in that it sped from one scene to the next. You watched a mutation grow and drive the world mad from root to finale, and along the way you discovered the innocent, the guilty, and the ineptitude of our entire system along with ominous parallels that young writers like Brooks will usually not be able to draw, much less master. His Palestinian and Russian segments are brilliantly crafted, not enough can be said...regardless of your preferred genre, pick up this little gem and decide whether or not you are ready if anarchy comes knocking... You may just scare yourself into preparing for the possibility, when you consider the environs in which we play.

Truth about Muhammad Founder of the Worlds Most Intolerant Religion

If you liked Pat Buchanon's "State of Emergency" and were shocked by the in depth research involved in his rip of the Border fiasco, you will love Robert Spencer's book. At a little under 200 pages, it provides more information than most thousand page text books. He pulls zero punches, he covers Armstrong's light Biography, he remarks on others, he recounts virtually the entire history of the prophet in a master stroke of a book. More or less, the Koran is a "Warning" to the infidel...and with the recent rise in Islamofascistic Terror, Robert Spencer explains events from 2003 to 2006 in a stunning clarity. Get ready to read names that will boggle your mind, get used to reading Arabic phrases, but read it, don't put it down until you are through. Books like this may save us. He offers solutions at the end that are indispensible. He also recognizes that if certain solutions are not met, we are doomed to repeat the Dark Ages. In the next few months, there will be apologetics discounting this book and stating that it is alarmist, but read this book in tandem with the Koran. It allows you to understand the background without actually having to read the Hadith. It makes the Koran intelligible. And as it were, the only reason people believe Islam is a religion of peace is because they have been convinced of that by the apologists who claim it as a universal blessing rather than what it really is - a promise of death for all who dare not convert to Islam or pay alms to the caliphate. America, Wake up! Realize that the future is gaining ground and closing its tunnel. The American dream will be strangled by this curse if we don't act now to guarantee our constitution. We are on a two front war - Islamofascism and Chicanofascism...and our leaders are deaf dumb and blind...wake up! Arise America! Awake from the spell of the enchanters! I release you! I free you! Fight Infidels! Fight for your lives!
