      It is a book about how America is being transformed into a **** like dictatorship.

              Recently read favorites don't always stand the test of time, I guess is more what I meant instead of "classics". Recent favorites might not make my list in a few months.

                  Not read anything byYasunari Kawabata either.Again I'll take a look on Amazon.

                  Read A Day InThe Life of Ivan Denisovich by Solzhenitzyn
                  Musashi wrote the Book of the Five Rings. The book is along the lines of Sun Tzu The Art of War. Two populat treatisies about strategy. Interesting, but different than one gets from reading a work of Fiction.
