| | | I'm going to the library today and...
I want to check out a book that is really good. I can't really think of what it needs to be about, just a book that has a had a big impact on anyone. Every book i've checked out lately sucks because i'm bad at looking for good ones, so if anyone could share a book that they really like, i'd appreciate it, thankyou!Oh, and tell what it's about, please. |

| | | Okay, i've made up my mind for what I'm looking for. I want something that romantic, funny, dramatic, and sort of aims for what a girl would read?I never find any good ones. |

A far superior work of political philosophy, which I would also suggest that you read, is 'The Road to Serfdom' by F. A. Hayek. I must also emphatically recommend 'The Open Society' by Karl Popper in this field.
If you believe in God, then I recommend 'Fear and Trembling' by Johannes de Silentio (Søren Kierkegaard) to you.
Do you have any favorite books? Are there any books which you could seriously recommend to me? |
