User:Tastywheat/Books for Liberty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them." -Mark Twain

Read first: The purpose of this book list is to provide a starting point for anyone interested in liberty-oriented reading material. In no way is this list meant to be complete, but rather constantly updated with new additions or corrections. As a courtesy, please be sure any book you include adds value to the topic at hand. On a further note, many entries will obviously fit into more than one category. That being said, all effort should be made to place each book into the section it would most likely be located in at a bookstore or library. All categories and titles should flow alphabetically for easier viewing. Author names should be written last name first. Topics should include subcategories, themes, and major keywords associated with the book and be written alphabetically. Finally, many of these books are available for free online and can also be found at your local public library. Enjoy!
