The Bible still hasn’t gone out of fashion in the US, Mills says.

Question: What are your favorite books?

D. Quinn Mills: Well, I read the Bible all the time. It may be a little bit out of, it is certainly out of fashion in New England. It is not out of fashion in much of the United States. There are enormous insights in that book. As I get older and more experienced in my own life I read things that I read a 100 times before since I was a boy and I realize I ever really understood them at all. So, that's one thing. I am very impressed by the work of a British military historian called whose name was J.F.C. Fuller, who I think is now passed away, but his perception of the broad scope of human history and the relationships of nations and why conflict occured and these kind of thing, which by the way is very different then the general perceptions in United States about these matters, and particularly a three volume work called A Military History of the Western World, which is much more than a military history, is I think one of the most influential things I have ever read and I read it again and again and again.
