Just as the title of the thread suggests, this is the thread where we recommend books (be it fiction or non-fiction). This is also a thread that should be seen as one where members can ask for tips when looking for a book about a specific topic. I would like to recommend Leonard Read's I, Pencil - a great story about the wonders and importance of free trade. It is extremely short and a very easy read. You can find a free pdf with a simple Google search and I think it is also available as audiobook on YouTube.

F.M. Dostoevsky: Crime & Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov Hermann Hesse: Narcissus and Goldmund, Steppenwolf Michael Ende: Momo, The Neverending Story (beats the pants off the movie) Stanislaw Lem: Solaris George Orwell: 1984, Animal Farm J.R.R. Tolkien: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings Kurt Vonnegut: Breakfast of Champions, Galápagos, Slaughterhouse 5 It's kind of a list of classics I've read as much as a list of recommendations, but I think there's plenty for any avid reader to appreciate in all of them.
The Law, by Bastiat. http://bastiat.org/en/the_law.html A short book, really just a long pamphlet, which explains the nations founders concept of the law and govt. Expeditionary Force, by Craig Alanson. A sci-fi series, so far 6 books, entertaining and funny. The audio versions are done very, very well, and are hilarious. The narrator is exceptional. Bobiverse, by Dennis Taylor. Sci-fi, 3 book series and it actually ends in book 3. The audio version is excellent.
Actually, it was written as a critique towards the leaders of 19th century France and not as an explanation of 'The Constitution' as such. Basically an essay that asks the question of why it is that the lawmakers do not have to obey the laws they make. This is nonetheless a timeless classic and is just as applicable on the governments of today as it was back then. I have it in my bookshelf and it is my go-to book whenever someone asks me about my definition of "liberty".
