"Ignatius J. Reilly is an intellectual, an ideologist, a loafer, a laughing stock, a glutton that despises modernity for the lack of proper theology and geometry."

--Yes! I have a place in this world!

I also recommend Tragedy and Hope, by Carrol Quigly

Time to get ready for the apocalypse.

Hey, you might want to check the titles on those books. The Process, for instance, is known as The Trial in English. And Amendment-22 is called Catch 22. Otherwise, great list. I've read most of them, and will look up the remaining ones. Thanks.

Great list -- I always find it hard to narrow the gap to 10, but you've done well.

I suppose 5 out of 10 on the list isn't so bad...considering I haven't read a book since I got my first computer...what...25 yrs ago now.

I'm waiting for novels in pill form. ;-)

hi. I had included your post in this compilation to share with more people 😃
