Worthy Reading
In a spur to expand my mind and stop quoting things I've never actually read I decided to read more important and worthy books. I decided to read some key texts on political philosophy and feminism. Yesterday I bought 'On Liberty and other essays' by J S Mill and 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' by Mary Wollstonecraft. I'm also planning to dig out my copy of the 'Communist Manifesto' which I've been meaning to get around to reading for the last six years. Once I've got through those I might read some Rawls as the more I understand Rawls the more he makes sense. I also want to read books I disagree with. Milton Friedman really helped me clarify my thinking on some things even though I can to different conclusions.
Any suggestions on other books I should read?
