Times like these when
- the WH can rewrite history - WH statement on January 6, 2021
- lie about the murder of an innocent woman (too many sources to link to)
- detain American citizens
- detain Native Americans in Minneapolis
- and continue to inflict pain on innocent people
calls for the following books to be recommended. Maybe even purchased in case they too disappear as the regime re-writes history:
Animal Farm, George Orwell
1984, George Orwell - "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
I think most readers have probably read these before in high school, so I don't need to really summarize each one. You can find multiple editions, translations, and more in your public library. Or for local folks, head over the NextChapter bookstore on Snelling and Grand which has set up a display "Books for Tough Times".
1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell - 75th editions were published in 2003. Take a look at NextChapter website - Animal Farm. and 1984
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
NextChapter website - Fahrenheit 451
WorldCat for locating in your local library.
And just in case you have read this far, submit a recommendation for a book to read.
