interesting to see an econ student that follows austrian instead of keynesian...did you go to loyola?
great book, it just wasnt something id recommend to people just getting into Mises' work. my dad (teaches econ on the side) loves it

Serious question, Carson -- have you read a book since high school English class?

so because 7 of the 28 books I listed are from high school english, that makes my entire list null and voided? give me a break. there's a reason those books are read in high school-they're great and have great ideas. Read Animal Farm and To Kill A Mockingbird when I was in 4th grade (dad made me). Does that diminish the greatness? no. They have great ideas behind them that are to be read at a young age.
what a retarded attempt at a troll

...by my count 14 to 15 of those books were books I was exposed to in high school. It's not a troll, and it's not meant to devalue them in regards to their cultural significance -- as you've indicated, they have great ideas behind them. When half of your list of "good" books come from a high school reading list, however, it's not absurd to inquire as to whether or not you have an aversion to reading.
Unrustle those jimmies.

If you knew what the others were, there'd be no question as to whether or not I have an aversion to reading. You can't have an aversion to reading and read Mises, Rothbard, Nabokov, and Kafka

Carson's only like 21 or so.

You could have read them in a freshman year lit course -- that doesn't mean you particularly ENJOY reading.
As for my high school experience, it was a tiny little hick school, but perhaps our English department was above average? We did read quite a bit.

I don't know that your high school was shitty, but these:
atlas shrugged - ayn rand
heart of darkness - joseph conrad
catch 22 - joseph heller
metamorphosis - franz kafka
lolita - vladimir nabokov
of mice and men - george steinbeck
the sound and the fury - william faulkner
watership down - richard adams
animal farm - george orwell
old man and the sea - ernest hemingway
actually, anything by hemingway
great gatsby - f scott fitzgerald
to kill a mockingbird - harper lee
fahrenheit 451 - ray bradbury
slaughterhouse five - kurt vonnegut
lord of the flies - william golding
Are all staples of high school English classes.
ETA: but Carson is 20, so a lot of the stuff he will have read will be from high school English. I mean, shite, he's only 2 years out.
