Pretty fucking anodyne. The only criticism I can level at it is that it's a gormless gestalt of his worldview and philosophy, but that'd be true of any ideologue's list of recommendations. Also a clinical psychologist only including the works of three authors in that category is pretty silly, especially when one is Jung and another is an oedipal misogynistic nightmare of a human being.

Pretty typical list for a conservative that grew up in the 1960-70s. Could only be more blatant if it had Jack Kerouac and Richard Neuhaus

to say that this is a bad list is historically inconsistent with /lit/'s concurrent interests. its an objectively good list. there's stuff i'd add but there's stuff we'd all add and its not our list.

that said i don't understand the Animal Farm hype that book was shite
