      I thought I heard my name being typed. Yes, The Golden Pinnacle (see Marketplace) tells a story and tries to "sell" an idea: freedom. I would also recommend the Hallings books (see Marketplace) for some great ideas wrapped in stories. Great article, freedomforall.

I would add: please tell the STORY! I loath books that pretend to have a story but are patently a vehicle for expounding some theory or doctrine. I really do not need the philosophical equivalent of "Ray Gun Pete" spending 6 pages explaining his ray gun at me.

On the other hand, I love books that demonstrate a coherent philosophy of individual excellence and liberty and never preach a word.

In the past, I have used this technique to put ideas into the heads of kids.
