Hi - I intended for the list to be pretty general as to criteria, but I think the main issue is that more people have read (or at least heard of) the fictional classics that are put on the list, so they end up on top while the (perhaps more pertinent) non-fiction is pushed down. When I started the list it was a mix of fiction and non-fiction, though (and there are so many facets to the Trump phenomenon that a lot of books become relevant in one sense or another, so the list ends up being a pretty mixed bag).

(From your comment, I'm not sure if this is what you're getting at, but if it is then I hope I made sense. I'm not sure what the solution would be, though - maybe another list that specifies only books for political awareness?)

The other list seems more non-fiction focused, while this one is a mixture of different things, so I think they make a fine pair. I would say I'm content with the state of the lists.

Joel, there's nothing about the list that makes it for 'liberals' - I designed it to be neutral, and it is: if more voters favour those particular books, then so be it. The books that top the list are all famous dystopians - are you seriously saying you don't think a message that's applicable to the real world can be conveyed through fiction? And I notice there's fiction on your profile, too - why the double standard? Why read fiction at all if you think there's no relevance to reality?

That's a great list! It seems more partisan and less driven by established reputation than goodreads lists (chosen by select respondents rather than popular vote), so it's good to see some books included that aren't already so widely read. Feel free to add books from that list to this one, though, if you've read them.

Yes, I agree that it is much more partisan and I am not all that familiar with most titles.

It is amazing how so many lists popping up, independently of one another. I suspect others will appear in the future as books are written on the actual subject of Trump's presidency. Speaking of which, this may be of interest:

I think Joel's comment reveals more about world perception than anything else here: the pathological need to defend one's own tribe in the face of a (presumably) monolithic other. For the record, Trump isn't conservative and opposing demagoguery isn't exclusively a liberal stance. Just ask John McCain.

Really? It shouldn't be partisan, Trump should be seen as horrible from both sides. Don't let tribalism cloud your judgement. Only 3 of the first four books are fiction, unless you're meaning the Constitution is to not be taken seriously (as Trump's administration has made a point of doing). Go read 1984, and you'll see some similarities to this administration, though it more closely relates to Stalinist Soviet Union or modern-day North Korea.

I was going to say the same thing: the list isn't 'biased', it just reflects the views of the majority of Goodreads users. As conservatives are wont to say, 'the silent majority has spoken'.

Also, I'm not sure why he's complaining about the lack of an Obama list - it's a bit late.

Obama's not president. Hasn't been for awhile now. Yes, Trump is dangerous and divisive. I don't know why you're even questioning those aspects at this point in time.

I would just guess that a book called "How to Get Rich" written by the current president would be worthwhile.. or like, The Power of Positive Thinking by his former Pastor Vincent Norman Peale, maybe something educational or more productive than what this list consist of.

This exercise is not beneficial. If you are someone with anxiety focusing on it to such an extend is not going to be relaxing or help the situation at all.

Jul 26, 2018 09:01AM

Let's see...

The first book on this list is Nineteen Eighty Four, about making certain things forbidden to say in order to control how the population thinks. Sounds a lot like how the left today makes certain views forbidden to express - like pro-life, anti-illegal immigraion... Trump is the one who broke these taboos and gave frustrated voters a voice. So I guess it's an appropriate choice for this list.

The second book is The Handmaid's Tale. That book is about a society governed by a totalitarian religious order that subjugates women, reducing them to reproductive organs. Sounds like a lot of countries in the Middle East. Countries from which Trump is trying to cut down on illegal immigration through his travel ban so that the dangerous ideology described in that book doesn't spread to America. I guess it's an appropriate choice too.

The third book is Fahrenheit 451, once again about government control over published media. Sort of like where we were going with redefining the internet as a utility so it can be regulated by the FCC. Good thing Trump's administration put an end to that. Good choice of a book too!

Book four: The US Constitution. Trump nominated, so far, two SCOTUS judges who think that the Constitution should be interpreted as written and not twisted in pursuit of an activist agenda, like some of the old SCOTUS judges do. Great choice too!

Five: Animal Farm, about how the ruling class which comes to power promising free things for everyone gets fat by using government to make them rich. Sort of like the Clintons. Thank god we dodged that bullet and elected Trump instead of Napoleon, erm... Hillary.

Six: About race relations and the unequal treatment of Blacks in America. You know, things like segregating them to different schools, something that doesn't really exist anymore de jure, but does exist in our current public school system de facto. Thankfully, Trump's administration is in favor of school vouchers giving minorities the ability to send their kids to better schools. Good choice of a book for this list!

And so on down the list. This list is great. It should really make people hopeful that under the Trump Administration we've slowed down the descent into totalitarianism that has been occurring since Obama and would have accelerated under Clinton. We're not where we need to be, and we aren't even heading in the right direction, but at least we've slowed down going in the wrong direction. Keep that in mind when reading the books in this list.

I voted for "The Gospel Singer" by Harry Crews to be added to this list. It's hard to find now (especially since Crews passed away in 2012) but worth it. The title character is very Trump-like. A man who's worshipped like a God by his followers, but is really a very corrupt individual who lives contrary to what he preaches. The book was released exactly 50 years ago but it's as timely as ever.

While some of these may have been of questionable relevance, not a word was spoken before this person decided to summarily delete them! I noticed because one of my top votes (A Handmaid's Tale - quite relevant!) was missing.

Handmaid's Tale isn't relevant. It's a fiction fantasy about a world that doesn't exist. Sure - it's supposed to be a critique on religious orders that subjugate women, but that is not relevant to the Trump Administration. US law gives equal protection to both sexes.

Have to disagree there. Dozens of people thought it was quite relevant to the current administration.

My point was that it is against Listopia rules for librarians to go in and delete books based on personal prejudices. If the list creator disagrees with a certain addition and would like it removed, that is another matter.

Unfortunately, I have first-hand experience with this. Last October, a rogue librarian deleted the entire YA Novels of 2019 list. All ~1500 voters had their votes wiped out, and since the list was empty, Goodreads software deleted it. When something like that happens, there is no way to retrieve lost votes or lost lists.

This list will soon be needing an update, as I am getting close to releasing the definitive book on an administration of equivalent stature to the one mentioned here (though with just a slightly different name and key character) : namely, the Chump administration.

My book stands to overturn the conventions of modern political journalism, blending live on-the-spot reporting with deep analysis gleaned particularly from intensive dumpster-diving. I even provide links to some delicious political recipes.

Stay posted for my book release before 2019 is out, or follow me on Twitter in the meantime for scorching political commentary.

I will be needing to connect to readers who are intent on discovering the truth about the administration of Ronnie S. Chump, the greatest unelected civic leader since Dinsdale Piranha.

You should rename this list now to What to Read Under the Biden administration - unchecked illegal immigration and spreading them around under the cover of darkness across the land, coupled with an almost innumerable list of other devastating things this Numpty is doing to the country. Unlikely we will survive his administration let alone this decade. "Cancel Culture", "Woke", sexually confusing kids in the schools, only a particular race matters, two nation kneeling anthems at sporting events, social media controlling what people can and can't say. Orwell was right.

Yep, but it's even funnier how so m..."

Exactly, the current Numpty in charge doesn't even realize he is in charge. They have to have a whole White house set as a prop for him, and hire kid actors for his cackling assistant.

You can create a new list for "Books to Read Under the Biden Administration" if you want. Anyone can create lists.

true, and it would be most of these books. But I don't even want to honor that Numpty a list. Thanks

If we did create a list for that Numpty, I think Sowell's 'Basic Economics' would have to be right at the top of it!
