The Shack is very popular right now, but I don’t know much about it. Look into it.

I highly recommend The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul. Even if you don’t agree with everything it says it is still very thought provoking considering the many difficulties in our nation right now. They have Murray Rothbard’s The Great Depression but as the reviews on their site suggest, I can’t imagine listening to it because it is very dense.

If you decide that fiction is ok, I have some excellent recommendations that I listened to from Audible.

I have no idea if this is on audio, but Heaven by Randy Alcorn will change your life (and you will buy the real book after listening).

The Forgotten Man is a history of the great depression. It’s kind of dense at times, but a rather chilling account of how the New Dealers were literally playing/experimenting with the economy b/of their fascination with Stalinist Russia. Amity Shlaes unpacks the decade and reveals how their tinkering prolonged the depression and created this repulsive dependence on gov’t.

I just read O’Reilly’s new book. It was a good read, and I kept thinking how fun it would be to listen to on audio since he reads it himself. Not necessarily a book I’d want to own though – maybe from the library (which is where I got mine).

I see they have Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. Excellent read! I read it a couple of years ago in my bookclub and thoroughly enjoyed it.
