What are you reading?

I would suggest what I finished last Mon. , Mother Night , Kurt Vonnegut , also Slaughterhouse Five , same guy.
 
First Shift-Legacy (Part 6 of the Silo Series) (Wool) by Hugh Howey.

Dystopian SF.Although this is a prequel to what happened in parts 1-5,explaining how they got there,it is recommended to read them in order 1 through 6.
Good stuff and pretty cheap on a kindle,if ya got one.

Incredible book.
 
I'm just starting to read Atlas Shrugged for the first time. I've read quite a bit of Rothbard, Bob Murphy, Tom Woods, Hoppe, Block, Rockwell, various other mises instutite people, etc..., but I kind of went from reading Ron Paul, to a gap in reading (books at least), then pretty much instantly into Rothbard. Ayn Rand played absolutely no role in the development of my philosophy and finally ending up as an AnCap.

I've had the book for some time (got it for free) and it has just be collecting dust in my closet. I just haven't been very interested in Rand considering she generally denounced libertarians and wasn't an AnCap.

But meh, it is one of those books that you will "have to have read" being around liberty-oriented people. I suppose I'll find out what I think of it after I read it (I am literally only 3 pages into this brick), and I suppose I can't really judge a book I have never read on my personal opinion of Ayn Rand herself.
 
Post what book you are currently reading! I for one enjoy threads like this and start one in every forum I go to if there isn't already one.

I am reading The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy. Good book so far.

I read that book a couple of years ago right after it came out, a very good book indeed. However it is kind of a vague and not exactly correct in who it gives blame to for this "conspiracy."
 
I suppose I can't really judge a book I have never read on my personal opinion of Ayn Rand herself.

True. For example I can't stand Matt Damon as a person. Typical Hollywood liberal. BUT I do like his acting and I did enjoy The Bourne movies.
 
Reading A Song of Fire and Ice series, currently on the 2nd book "A Clash of Kings". I had watched the show on HBO and heard so many great things about the books i just had to buy the set of the first four.

I'm on book 5 and wish I never started. It is my estimate that it will be 2020 before that illiberal blob, GRRM, finishes the damn series.



He's blagging on the most asinine BS imaginable:

But I would be remiss if I do not at least make passing mention of how depressed, disgusted, and, yes, angry I've become as I watch the ongoing attempts at voter suppression in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Iowa, and other states where Republicans and their Teabagger allies control key seats of power.

It is one thing to attempt to win elections. But trying to do so by denying the most basic and important right of any American citizen to hundreds and thousands of people, on entirely spurious grounds... that goes beyond reprehensible. That is despicable.

...

And don't tell me they are libertarians either. No true libertarians would ever support a culture where citizens must "show their papers" to vote or travel. That's a hallmark of a police state, not a free country.
