The Best George Lakoff Book to Have in your Library
I already own a copy of "Don't Think of An Elephant" and want to purchase another one. Should I get the latest one, "The Political Mind"? 'Moral Politics"?

1. I bought it a few weeks ago and have read the first few chapters.
So far, it's been a real eye-opener. I'd certainly recommend it (unless he becomes a raging neocon in the parts I haven't read yet, of course).

2. I own Thinking Points and Elephant
They are both good but amazingly similar. I wish I had only bought one of them.

3. "Metaphors we live by"
It's an old book - around 1980, I think. And, it's not overtly political. But, it taught me more about how language builds the world we live in than any other book I've read.
