Notes on my reading list

Just so that none of the three persons who occasionally looks at this blog will think that I've lost my head or had a sudden change of political sensibility, let me explain why I've been reading Phyllis Schlafly, described by some as the grande dame of the Old Right. I have been reading her work as an exercise in spotting fallacious argumentation. I've also been reading a few of her books because I believe that one should know intimately the positions and arguments of those with whom one does not agree. I wish that I had an opportunity to make a documentary film about her that included interviews with her—something along the lines of Nahid Persson Sarvestani's The Queen and I (see more info here).
