Ten Writers I Need to Recommend. Top Story - September 2023.
I seem to have stirred a pot a little too hard for some of you. In a previous piece entitled “Ten Writers I Can No Longer Read,” I listed the names of authors that I now avoid, with some fair reasons for my choices (I even included a list of other runners-up that could have made the list longer).

Review of Earnest Hemingway's Farewell to Arms
I was never one to read much classic literature. This 355 page novel reflects a saddening story of a solider who returns home from war. Lt. Fredrick Henry shares his time in the field of war, before his home life falls into shambles. If needing to read a book about an alcoholic's demise to relate to military service ever, this is the one book I would recommend for that purpose. This book published in 1929, and refers to service in World War One.

What if the city of New Orleans was a prison city of the future. It is also a story of having faith in yourself and your ideals. Lord of Order is a book set in the future but has aspects of the past and present.

Letters to Trump: Reflections, Critiques, and Hopes
Barely any presidents in American history have had as enduring an effect on the country’s consciousness as Donald J. Trump. Whether you saw his organization with extreme assistance or phenomenal doubt, there’s no denying that he was a polarizing figure who evoked convincing sentiments and ignited excited discussions. The composition of “Letters to Best” by residents, scholarly people, and, surprisingly, world pioneers offering their viewpoints, reactions, and expectations for the 45th Leader of the US is a charming peculiarity that has arisen as the residue chooses his time in office.
