For one I’m finishing off ‘Henrik Ibsen - Hedda Gabler and Other Plays’. I just finished reading the first play ‘The Pillars of the Community’, written in the 19th century and astonishingly similar to The Fountainhead in its theme. A real revelation.
Also Rob Henderson’s autobiography about his challenging childhood and his concept of ‘luxury beliefs’ to describe what’s emanating from the woke left.
Ah, I don't know Mr Henderson. Ibsen is one of my top favourites. His plays are always terrifically sharp, and always pointed! Even if most of his plays have now been bowdlerised and watered down in some other form. (Have fun, for instance, comparing 'Jaws' to 'Enemy of the People.')

@PC - I didn't know you were an Ibsen fan. Here's a good intro to Rob.
