11984 by George Orwell

Tremendous, tremendous read. Orwell was a very smart man. Had some good ideas. Politics today is such a disgrace. Good people don’t go into government. Bigly book with bigly ideas for the future!

2The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I’ve said if Daisy weren’t married to Tom, perhaps I’d be dating her. That would make Gatsby extremely upset, very angry. Part of the beauty of her is that she is very rich. You know, wealthy people don’t like me.

3Native Son by Richard Wright

Our African American communities are absolutely in the worse shape they’ve ever been in before. Ever, ever, ever. We have a situation where we have our inner cities, African Americans, Hispanics; they’re all living in hell, because it’s so dangerous.

4The Bridge Over the River Kwai by Pierre Boulle

Not a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.

5Animal Farm by George Orwell

I dealt with an animal farm. I rented them a piece of land. They paid me more for one night than the land was worth for two years, and then I didn’t let them use the land. That’s what we should be doing. I don’t want to use the word “screwed,” but I screwed them. That’s what we should be doing.

6The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Holden Caulfield is crude, rude, obnoxious, and dumb – other than that I like him very much!

7The Art of War by Sun Tzu

Our country is in serious trouble. We don’t have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don’t have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say China in a trade deal? I beat China all the time. All the time. This is a good read. If we have nukes why don’t we use them? That’s the art of war.
