4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 2025 Bookclub Pick

First half better than the 2nd half. Enjoyed all historical comparisons. Came with facts. Didn‘t not expect it to predict current day issues despite being published in 2017.

I've been meaning to read this since 2017, but kept putting it off. I had to wait awhile for my library hold to come in. So many people are reading this right now. 🤔

This is a succinct list of 20 lessons we (should) have learned from the last century on how to turn away from fascism and tyranny. I feel a need to keep running this info through my brain, so I have also placed holds on the audio and the graphic novel versions of this book.

This book is short in stature and length. And now is a good time to read it. I finished it on a 3 hour flight with plenty of time to delve back into my other book.

Apparently there are numbers of readers who do not understand the messaging in Fantasy. I am guessing if they did we would see more book bans…. cause a woman who thinks is dangerous.

First published in 2017 but just as relevant now, this concise & thought provoking book clocks in less than 2 hours on audio. But the lessons contained within are expansive & will stay with the reader. Highly recommended.

TheBookHippie Agree. A must read. Oy. 2mo
vivastory @TheBookHippie Absolutely 💯 2mo

BarbaraBB I postponed it in 2017 but I guess there‘s no better time to read it than right now. Stacking. 2mo
vivastory @BarbaraBB It's a quick read. I really liked the audio, read by Snyder. Some of it seems like preaching to the choir but other points were interesting enough to make me want to rec it. An important work IMO 2mo
Leftcoastzen On permanent shelves, I read it again quite recently! 2mo
Suet624 Bought it in 2016. I often wonder how Snyder feels considering that he‘s been talking about this for years. This recent election must‘ve just done him in. 2mo
vivastory @Suet624 I had the same thought. I saw that there was an expanded edition after the invasion of Ukraine. 2mo
Suet624 Oh! I‘ll have to take a peek at the library and see if they have it. 2mo

Starting this tonight with Sophie.His other book , “On Tyranny”is a must read ! Shorter than this one and a recent reread for me .

Mimi28 Cute kitty 🐈‍⬛ I am thinking of starting a #litsypetprayerbook is that bad or weird? Be honest. It would basically be a list of all the Litsy pets and their names and we could I dunno start a pen pal group about them or do it on here. We encourage each other why not do it for the pets also? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ 2mo
