Self-education

Here's a new list of the Best Books on American Conservativism (via Betsy's Page). How many have you read? I've read The Road to Serfdom, Free to Choose, Atlas Shrugged, and Capitalism and Freedom. I can recommend them all, and do, and give away copies. I think I also read Rabbit Redux in college, but it didn't impress me then. I want to read Witness, and Democracy in America and the Federalist Papers, both of which I have started in the past but not finished. Sometimes you have to grow up first to appreciate a good book. I think I also want to read I Am Charlotte Simmons, as I am a huge Tom Wolfe fan, but I am afraid it will make me cringe. Personally I would add more Ayn Rand and some Thomas Sowell to this list--can't imagine why he's not on there, especially for A Conflict of Visions.
