List of 2025 Books So Far:
January: ‘Men in My Situation’ by Per Petterson 2022
February: ‘For Love of Country’ by Tulsi Gabbard 2024
March: ‘The Screwtape Letters’ by C.S. Lewis 1942

MAGA book club is exactly what our society needs. I'll definitely join, especially for Swamp Story. It sounds like a great read.
Yay!! I’ve been wanting to read that one since it came out
Yes, yes, yes. I have finally found a booktuber that is openly conservative!
I'm your huckleberry, lol. XD
I randomly stumbled upon your channel the other day like a man in a dry rocky landscape happening upon a rattlesnake. Yet, to my surprise, it was not a snake; it was a happy little bunny which I gladly picked up. I look forward to your online book club.
Depending on exactly what you're looking for, I feel the following books can be profitably read and discussed by conservatives:
- Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
- Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein
- Animal Farm by George Orwell
- The Abolition of Man (more intellectual) by C.S. Lewis
- Political nonfiction by Thomas Sowell, Pat Buchanen, and Michelle Malkin (who I miss)
Enders Game and Starship Troopers are on the Commandant's reading list for the Marine Corps. They are great books
@@jamessimpson9385@jamessimpson9385 I'm in the Army, but they were foundational to my childhood since my dad recommended them; he was in the Air Force. They are great books, essential for children raised in service-based families like the military.
Dune by Frank Herbert
Patriotic booklovers, rise
Thanks!
yayyy thank you!!
I'm so sick and tired of Leftists.
I'm sick of conservative victimhood.... stop whining
@@bipslone8880 "hey i've been victimizing you and subverting your culture to plant roots of my own ideology into your children through mass indoctrination, but you noticing is really problematic for me so shut up and quit whining"
@@bipslone8880 🤣So funny... The lefty loonies are the loudest whiners about being victims!
@@bipslone8880 I'm sick and tired of smart-asses
Liberal victimhood influenced like 90% of our culture. The whining is justified.
My travel memoir ‘Take My Breath Far Away’ is the last of its kind- white author travels to Africa without apologizing for her race.
Yes let’s do it
Conservatives have a huge victim complex
Randomly found your channel on my home page, im only a couple minutes into this video and I'm subscribing!
Men in my Situation are on Kindle unlimited, too. Count me in.
I’ll pin this!!
Love it!!!!! Thanks for
As someone who loves writing what is the best conservative fiction
Cormac McCarthy in his entirety. Not really conservative in it's content explicitly but McCarthy was a right wing dude who the media is trying to now slander with baseless accusations (The accuser says she recognized him from a author picture which does not exist) conveniently right after he's dead and can't defend himself. He's a bit out there but The Sunset Limited, The Road, No Country For Old Men, and The Border Trilogy are good starting points.
Christopher Ruocchio is making some amazing sci-fi with his Sun Eater series.
Dan Simmons isn't really "conservative" and is pretty much a bog standard libertarian but The Hyperion Cantos, The Terror (Amazing TV adaptation too), as well as Drood, Illium, and Endymion are incredible.
Also The Book Of The New Sun, one of the greatest series of novels ever made, rivals The Lord Of The Rings.
William F. Buckley’s Blackford Oakes spy thrillers, Robert Heinlein science fiction, and George Gillman’s Edge series of westerns are good places to start. Also Tom Clancy, Brad Thor and David Drake. Buckley and Gilman are out of print, but can be found on the internet.
And chainslaughter231 is right. Cormac McCarthy is fantastic.
Military fiction tends to be conservative.
@@chainslaughter231 I love Cormac McCarthy! Terrible to hear that he was accused of SA. I hope the truth comes out and hopefully his name can be cleared.
Great idea!
I hope there's a lot of Thomas Sowell in there!!!
There needs to be!
It should be divided into fiction and non-fiction.
We prefer fiction
Yes, I'm hoping to read Discrimination and Disparities by Sowell but also open to others too as I haven't read any yet (just finished college in a very liberal state and hadn't had much time to branch out)
Bought a copy of men in my situation after watching this. A little difficult for me, i think its just how its translated but i like it so far.
The stylistic choice of no dialog tags is something you'll get used to!
Some good books I’d recommend as a conservative:
Anything by Victor Davis Hanson. But “the Dying Citizen” is a must.
Joe Abercrombie’s “Blade itself series.” And the sequel trilogy “The Age of Madness”. It basically demonstrates the terror of mob rule and communist revolutionary uprisings in a fantasy setting.
Lonesome dove is a great book that gives an honest and brutal depiction of the cowboys and the Comanche war bands of the late 1800s.
Anything by Gad Saad.
Anything by Douglas Murray.
Gad Saad and Murray are not America First
You're 100% correct.
We don't need anymore of that on the right, they're plenty
Before you even got to it, I was thinking The Screwtape Letters, but wasn't sure if this idea of yours included "religious" stuff. I was truly shocked when you mentioned it, as it came to my mind and then a minute later you mentioned it. It is a great book, but the writing is probably a bit more "formal" than what we are used to in this day and age. It reads like classic literature. But great book and message.
Well I have a month to read it, so I’ll get used to the style!
@@hannie76 I think you'll enjoy the message he's trying to get across. I have enjoyed several books by C.S. Lewis.
The one you want to read is "The Conservative Mind" by Russell Kirk. However, an EXCELLENT primer for any high school or college age American is Kirk's "The Politics of Prudence". You cannot be an American Conservative without studying Russell Kirk.
Noted! I’m not high school or college aged, but I will look into the primer book
@@hannie76 I second "The Conservative Mind." It is required reading for anyone interested in understanding Anglosphere (paleo-)conservatism.
Another book I would recommend, both for itself as well as for its bibliography is Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon: The Books and the School of the Ages."
What about a Reactionary Book Club? Evola, Guenon, von Kuenhildt-Leddihn.
I was going to recommend The Hermetic Tradition.
@ramonacosta2647 Oh yeah, that's a good idea too. Evola did write on Alchemy, Magic and Yoga as well.
@@Fact-fiend_1000ASMR. I think it helps elucidate his political writings.
@@ramonacosta2647 Definitely. Particulary on Fascism and NatSoc. Other political writers to look at are: Pobyedonostev, Frederick the Great, Bousset, and Robert Filmer.
@@Fact-fiend_1000ASMR. I only know Filmer from Locke's First Treatise of Government. I'm not a Christian so I'm not sure if Filmer would get me anywhere. I've, of course, heard of Fred the OG and even read a short, and not very good, biography of him, but I've never read anything by him except, I think, a little bit of a military treatise he wrote. I would be interested in reading more though. I don't think I've come across the other two before so I'll look into them.
Happened upon this video and joined your club!! My preferred library here has all of the books you listed except the last one, which you said won't be available until May. This sound like fun and I hope to participate when I can. Thanks!!
I’ve read Tulsi’s Book 😊 i go back to it often. I don’t mind rereading it. I’m currently reading Melania’s autobiography (on hoopla) and RFKs book “The Real Anthony Fauci”
I just bought the real Anthony fauci!
Tulsi is a Putin puppet
That book is what made me a fan of RFKJ, and reinforced my belief that Fauci belongs in jail. And he didn't just write a bunch of words without backing it up. It must have at least a thousand references/citations.
@@klrbeech7054 yes, I’m still at the beginning but he provides so much information to very serious claims and backs it up with sources. Idk what’s going to happen with all of that but perhaps that’s why Fauci might be getting a “preemptive” pardon from Biden 😕
@@hannie76 nice!
I am happy that you are doing this!
This sounds cool. I just finished the first draft of what I'm writing, so I'm definitely looking for something to read that's not my own work 🔥
This is such a good idea and I really hope it takes off for you and becomes something big, important and moving.
As a side note I used to read book series by a number of authors featuring the same characters over many books and noticed around 2020 all of the series started introducing “progressive” characters and plot lines that never existed before in a way that felt like these elements were always a part of the ongoing story line. Or, in some cases, inserting a progressive character that adds nothing to the story but keeps popping up. It felt, to me, these authors were told to do this. At this point I’ve given up on many authors I actually used to look forward to reading.
What you are doing is necessary and I hope makes a difference.
Thank you so much!!
As a 38 year old dude (too happy for my own good, though) I'm very excited to read Men in My Situation.
"People's Republic" by Kurt Schlichter. "Live Free or Die" by John Ringo. Alot of John Ringo books could be on a conservative fiction list. I used to love "The Last Centurion" by Ringo....but that was before Covid. Tom Kratmans'"Carrera" series is good for action and some philosophy as well.
Fellow conservative here, I have recommendations:
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marques
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
American Pastoral by Phillip Roth
All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Tree of Smoke by Denis Johnson
Madam Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
Themes of the listed books are sex, incest, violence, mental illness, depression, death, etc. This may trigger a conservative not to read these book. In that regard, you can never progress as a human being if you read nothing that challenges you. If reading a passage makes you uncomfortable, then that was the intended effect.
Many here are on my TBR already!
Needs some Arktos books.
Sweet! For Love Of Country is definitely high up on my TBR, so that's great!
Making a discord, or some other forum site. As far as book selections go, the podcast of the lotus eaters do a conservative book club, I've gotten some really good suggestions from them.
I have a goodreads discussion group linked in my community posts!
Idk how discord works
Due to all the liberal books that swarm the book shelves now adays I enjoy reading books about the middle ages and especially the Crusades.
Same (although maybe not specifically focused on the Crusades for me). I love your TH-cam handle, btw. I read a biography on Scipio Africanus for Historathon at the beginning of this year.
I tend to gravitate towards history books in general, though, and to read multiple books on the same topic so that I can form my own opinion vs only being exposed to an author’s (sometimes biased) views on history.
@tahlia__nerds_out Thank you for the compliment, Scipio is one of my favorite Romans, which is why he is my TH-cam handle. I read history books for the same reason, so that I know the truth of what actually happened and not just some persons bias.
@@KnightOfStJohn do you have any book recommendations regarding Scipio? I’ve only read “Scipio Africanus: Greater than Napoleon” by B.H. Liddell Hart.
I’m a Creative Writing major (I know) and conservative, and being in classrooms with overwhelmingly liberal professors and students while being conservative is hella uncomfortable, I think, though I don’t know, but it’s a fairly safe guess, I’m the only conservative in my creative writing classes. I don’t have the guts you do to state my own opinion, and while I love my professors and classmates for all they’ve done for me, there’s an evident need for more conservative representation in literature.
yay!!! I hope you work really hard and get something amazing published
@ thank you! Working on a poetry chapbook manuscript
Best TH-cam recommendation ever
I need to look into Larry Corria. He is a consertive/libratarian author that is one of the best in the world. (In my personal opinion.)
I will look into it
Louis L'Amour and Ray Bradbury were also conservative, for anyone who enjoys Westerns and Speculative Fiction
A few non-fiction books I would recommend:
Julius Evola: The Hermetic Tradition, Revolt Against the Modern World
Rene Guenon: The Reign of Quantity, Lord of the World
Arthur Moeller van den Bruck: The Third Reich
Hilaire Belloc: The Servile State
Gustave Le Bon: The Crowd, The Psychology of Socialism
Friedrich List: The National System of Political Philosophy
Heinrich von Treitschke: Politics (two volumes)
According to Jon Del Arroz (primarily a comics guy) the sci-fi and fantasy sections at bookstores are as you describe literary fiction to be. I’m very happy to hear of your book club and the name is perfect. I mainly read non-fiction and second the one guy’s recommendation for Thomas Sowell and I think something on Nixon is an important addition; I’m a relatively recent conservative convert and have quickly come to get an idea of the greatness of both of these men.
I just looked up the book and ordered it on interlibrary loan. It looks compelling!
yay!!
Also some non-woke non-fiction that you might enjoy
River of Darkness by Buddy Levi (about the Conquistador Francisco Orellana and his discovery of the Amazon)
Just came across your channel Hannie and immediately subscribed. Awesome to find a conservative booktuber!
Great now add Culture of Critique in there
I think you, me, and excessive detail are the only conservative booktubers on here.
And conservative book society!!
@hannie76 yes! Can't forget them!
There are a ton of conservative booktubers. But you will find them under the "Christian" label as "Christian booktubers". They are just not Political focused, but they live very conservative lives.
@MistySunlight-u7w thank you, I knew there had to be more out there!
Commenting again since i finished the video. Im excited that TH-cam recommended your channel. I hope you get a lot of new subscribers from that and you start making good money from this channel so you can get your voice out there!
Thank you so much!!!
I ate breakfast at a local rural greasy spoon a couple years ago and a man was wearing a cardboard sign around his neck the size of a license plate with deplorable written on it. He fit right in....I watched 10 secs of your video and I said, "I'm in!" I subscribed and commented. America, Its the deplorables who jump out of helicopters, rush into burning buildings, keep the lights on and feed us.Thank you, you made my day...
Thank you :))
I would definitely recommend Hillbilly Elegy by J D Vance or Trailerpark Parable by Tyler Zed
Nice work. Make sure you have a copy of Road To Serfdom.
You had me at Deplorables! Then the Tulsi book and a CJ Box mention made me more excited to join you in this fantastic book club.
I understand getting peeved at the bait-and-switch 'white man bad' indigenous stories--I forget what the book was, but it was from a popular series that even my parents had heard of that was supposed to be a fictional story based on how Native Americans lived back in the day...first chapter is full of the 'white man bad' and left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the book. Like if you're going to yell at us for wanting to learn about your culture but also yell at us for being indifferent to it, why would we put in the effort when we're hated either way?
I do want to suggest for a Halloween reading Dragonfly by Fredric S. Durbin--I'm currently rereading it and it has some Christianity and praying in it so it's definitely not liberal. Also, One Second After by William R. Forstchen was a terrifying read since it's a 'what if' story based around an EMP burst going off; for a similar vibe but with a happier ending, Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank.
Good luck with your book club! :D
Very cool.
Count me in from Uruguay
Yayyy!! Make sure to check out our goodreads page
This is so cool! I've recently been getting back into books and don't really know where to start. This channel is a godsend!
holy wow wow I am so interested
Lee Iacocca autobiography, a Titan of industry who had thoughts of higher office.... A Confederacy of Dunces as well
It’s funny how conservatism is the new counter-culture. Good for you for following your own path.
I myself am a Gen X old-school liberal, fed up with the young, far left woke mob, so I’m glad that you’re out there.
Make literature great again! :D
Allan Bloom - Closing of the American Mind or Love and Friendship
I'll be here for Feb. Been wanting to read her book anyway
Why would I want to join something called that instead of honest?
Notice how smart conservative girls can practically be spotted due to the lack of purple hair, tattoos and septum piercings?
You had me at "C J Box"
Broward County Library still had the 1619 Project on their home page till recently 😮
The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber; The Weight of Memory by Shawn Smucker; The Last Crusade: Spain 1936 by Warren Carroll; Cruel Logic by Brian Godawa; Fatherless; Childless; and Godless trilogy by Dr. James Dobson; plus any of Kenneth Robert's historical fiction. Just a few suggestions.
I love historical fiction (mostly Roman empire):
"I, Claudius" and "Claudius the God"
"The eagle in the snow" - the last days of the empire as seen through the eye of a young soldier. You feel like you were alive as the empire disintegrates.
Also...
"The Quaternary Vote: The Election of God's Successor" - God resigns and people have to elect the next king of the universe (very interesting premise, the author is well-read and an expert in many disciplines)
After you promote Mein Kampf what are you going to cover?
I read Never Whistle at Night last year and promptly unhauled it... even though the cover is stunning..
Sounds cool
You're going to love The Screwtape Letters. CS Lewis really let his sense of humour out to play with it :)
Also, as an idea (and at the risk of creating a monster), related to the book club, have you thought of letting conservative or even neutral but non-woke authors reach out to you just to build up a directory of books (both paper and digital) which don't push an agenda and might be interesting to your channel viewers ?
I always welcome people to reach out with books! Also, None of the fiction books on the list push an agenda
Another conservative gem.
What are your thoughts on starting a goodreads group or a discord chat for members of the club to interact with one another?
Are you familiar with Passage Publishing? They publish a lot of rightwing nonfiction, but they released a romance novel this year called Something of the Springtime that I’ve heard is actually good.
I’ll look into it!
First book is on kindle unlimited.
Good times!
Great Book Club name, Hannie! I love your spirit and your unique ways of trying to raise our consciousness in the struggle against the "Woke Mind Virus" and a world flooded with so much historical misinformation, misrepresentations, and unexpected twists and turns. The first book IS in my library and I just put a hold on it. I'm first on the list. I am not sure I am going to be able to keep up because I tend not to have enough time to get through books quickly, for assorted reasons, but I will follow along as best I can, and I will have that first book before Christmas! Another book I have on HOLD at the library which you may or may not want to consider for the future is "Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties". Also you may like books by Gad Saad, like "The Parasitic Mind". I read that one and it was great. He has a new one out now. I also read one of Andrew Breitbart's books he released just before they bumped him off, and it was incredible to see how aware he was of the struggle playing out in our society a full decade or more than all of us who just woke up in recent years. But don't mind these ideas. I trust that you are picking good books on your own, and I am eager and interested to check them out. You rock, girl!
I read Chaos for a vlog a couple of months ago!!
Glad to see Tulsi's memoir is on the list! I know Candace Owens has written one too called "Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation"; I have it on my Kindle and am hoping to begin reading it soon but assuming I enjoy it as much as I expect, I wouldn't mind revisiting it for a later book club :)
I read that one for a blog!
I would recommend some more fiction, because of the way it influences the subconscious. Heinlein's Starship Troopers, CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, and J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings are some recommendations for starting points. There are also some authors in the indie and self-published spaces that have more recent offerings.
I think 4/6 being fiction is a great start!!
@hannie76 I wholeheartedly agree.
Humbly submitting SCHISMA: Maiden Voyage by M. Boone Hudgins for when it’s time to get into sci-fi fantasy adventure fiction that warns against big government demoralization.
Please read The Father’s Tale or Island of the World by Michael D O’Brien. So good.
I'd love to see additions of maybe Hillbilly Elegy, any Thomas Sowell, Jordan Peterson, Milton Friedman, more CS Lewis, Ayn Rand, and I also saw someone mention Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself which I've been wanting to read!
I would like to recommend The White Pill: A Tale Of Good And Evil by Michael Malice. It's basically a history of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union and all the horrors it inflicted upon the world but it goes over so many things that you would never ever learn about like the journalists who went to the USSR, snuck away from his government handlers and walked through the towns full of starving people. Once he got back he reported on it and got his life ruined by fellow "journalists" who called him a liar.
This is a great idea.
There's something to that subliminal conditioning of bookstores. I noticed years ago a trend where major bookstores will turn specific books to be cover-side out to draw more attention to them when you're looking through the shelves. Consistently these would always be the left leaning books. Like if you were in the biography section, all the books about historical figures to celebrities would be spine-side out, but then there'd always be a Michelle Obama or an AOC or some other left wing flavor of the month facing cover-side out.
As for the book club, I just discovered your channel like 2 days ago, so I'm excited that I caught this in time. I probably won't participate in every book review but I'm interested in joining in. I'm curious if these will all be your picks only or will you be taking requests in the future?
If you really want to read some right wing literature, check out The Cultured Thug Handbook by Mike Maxwell
Right Wing Revolution by Charlie Kirk is a fantastic book for understanding conservative politics. Very easy to read as well, good for someone who doesn't read.
I'm in. 👍
Liked, subbed, and very interested in the club! Good luck and keep us posted!
thank you :)))
Heck yeah
Open borders inc by Michelle Malkin is a must read.
I haven’t heard that name in a while!
@@hannie76 Michelle was attacked by the establishment and thrown under the buss by establishment conservatives I think just before writing this book. That's probably why it is so good. Gloves off, nothing to lose. I wish she would make a comeback.
My library has January’s book!
oh wow that's great!
Hold up…I’m a deplorable, and I read too!
🎉🎉🎉
I’ll get my aluminum foil hat ready!!
Hi, fellow conservative here from the UK (who was delighted to see the results of your recent election.) I am relieved to find a conservative book fanatic here on TH-cam. What's more, you're engaging to listen to. Instantly subscribed! I'm excited for future videos, keep 'em coming.
Thank you!!
Hey Hannie. I love your channel and what you’re doing. Recently found you through your “Goodreads white man hate” video and I’m wondering if you’d consider my anti-woke horror novel for a review, or even your book club?
A Hot Dose of Hell is a harsh, action-packed, darkly comedic story which is both a race against time horror thriller and a vicious satire on woke leftists. I won’t info dump the full blurb on your comment section. But if you’d like to know more it can be found at Amazon and a bunch of other bookstores and there’s a few reviews from good people on TH-cam as well.
I hope you’ll check it out. No worries if it’s not your thing though. Keep up the great work 🫡
The cover looks a little scary, but I’m making a list of subscriber books to check out!
@ thank you. It is pretty intense, about the level of the harshest Stephen King story (although nowhere near as disturbing as his social media posts lol)
Look up Michael D O’Brien
Oh yeah, Never Whistle at Night had a lot of comically evil white people. It was very disappointing because I too was hoping for some cool indigenous folk horror (there was some) and the cover is indeed gorgeous.
Ughhh I was looking forward to it. It’s so irritating how they want us to care about their culture, but make the barrier of entry a humiliation ritual for white people
Yes! This is awesome!
i pity the minds of anyone that joins this
a book club? ok buddy
@ that’s funny, that’s exactly what i said when i read the title. conservatism is the enemy of literature.
@@hannie76 fascism is the enemy of art
I could use a few beta readers for my Military Science Fiction,
Have you read The Humans ,by Matt Haig I would really like your opinion
Are you on Goodreads ? O know you're not crazy about it. But it wouold be nice to compare reads
Screwtape letters is on audio on TH-cam
