Book Returns

Touchstone magazine has started a new series: Book Returns. Here's how they describe it in a marketing e-mail they sent last night:

[In Book Returns,] we reevaluate some culturally significant books of the last forty years. Here are some of the upcoming contributions:

Syndicated columnist William Murchison on Christopher Lasch's The Culture of Narcissism

The Howard Center's Allan Carlson on Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb

JFK biographer Thomas Reeves on Herbert J. Muller's Uses of the Past

Constitutional historian James Hitchcock on Theodor Adorno's The Authoritarian Personality

Literary critic Robert V.Young on Gabriel Gracia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude

Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore on Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged

Other books to be covered are Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique, Ivan Illyich's Deschooling Society, J. A. T. Robinson's Honest to God, Kurt Vonnegut's Catscradle and Slaughterhouse Five, Eric Berne's Games People Play , Thomas A. Harris' I'm Okay, You're Okay, and J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye.

Definitely looks like a series worth watching.
