""I can speak to Greg Johnson's skills as a literary critic, because he has written about three of my books with understanding and appreciation. It's more than a bit embarrassing to be reviewed by someone who produces a better grade of prose than found in the matter under consideration. But that's the story with Greg Johnson, for whom literary criticism is but one of his many talents, including editing Counter-Currents, the best site to be found anywhere on the Web."" -Tito Perdue, author of Reuben and twenty-two other novels ""Greg Johnson is a very old-fashioned literary critic. He looks for truth, even in fiction. His Novel Takes lives up to its name by offering genuinely surprising interpretations of novels with Right-wing political themes and lessons. You'll high tail it to the original books, convinced Johnson is 'reading in' his own ideas, only to discover that, no, he's 'reading out' deeply heretical ideas that are already there."" -Jef Costello, author of Heidegger in Chicago: A Comedy of Errors ""Read any good books lately? Here are some recommendations. From mega-blockbusters like the Dune franchise to misanthropic bestsellers like The Camp of the Saints and A Confederacy of Dunces to more politically niche works like Bill Hopkins' The Leap! and Harold Covington's Northwest Quartet, Greg Johnson finds obscure books you need to read and offers challenging new perspectives on old favorites. Make room for this, and plenty more, on your bookshelves."" -James J. O'Meara, author of The Eldritch Evola and five other books
