The Mouse That Roared by Leonard Webberley

If you have never read this book, I highly suggest you do it. It has very interesting things to say about world politics and the importance of viewing patriotism in the proper lense by remembering that we are all, firstly, citizens of humanity. It's based around the Cold War and the nuclear arms race. It was full of truly amusing moments and now I'm going to quote one of my favorite passages:
"'I hope,' said Gloriana warily, 'that you are not going to suggest that I marry the American minister because I won't do it. I've been reading about the Americans in a women's magazine and they're all cruel to their wives.'
'Cruel to their wives?' echoed the count.
'Precisely. They treat them as equals. They refuse to make any decisions without consulting them. They load them up with worries they should keep to themselves. And when there isn't enough money, they send them out to work instead of earning more by their own efforts. Some of them even make their wives work so they can go to college. They are not men at all. They are men-women. And their wives are women-men. If I am to marry, I want a husband who will be a man and let me be a woman. I'll be able to handle him better that way.'"

This book just made some inner part of myself extremely happy. So...you should read it. Everyone should read it.
