I know your pain - so much to read, so little time. I wish I could be immortal (or stop time) for a hundred years or so. At least then I could read most of what needs to be read. It seems like this journey called reading takes forever.

If only the government could somehow limit your choices... then we would all be better off by relieving the frustration! Hahaha.

Is there not plenty of duplication?

Yeah, you should start with Rothbard's essay on the philosophy of science in Egalitarianism.

Be a dilettante; I'm sure most are, anyway.

I hope you can speed read.

While commuting by train, I am reading articles and summarizing them. I've gotten through 42 so far, and I decided to start ranking them on LibertyHQ. While ranking the articles on what I call the Minarchist Trio (law, police, defense), I realized that even with what I've read so far, there are SUCH amazing things to read out there, such as Stringham's compilation Anarchy and the Law: The Political Economy of Choice or all the writing on polycentric law or Bensons's The enterprise of law: justice without the state. And that's just on that! Then there's also readings on infrastructure, environmental preservation, science funding, etc. And not to mention economics! Oh, God, the economics. MES, HA, Principles, Socialism, and so on and so on. Mix in the political theory and philosophy, and I've got myself reading for the next 5 years! On the one hand, reading this much stops me from being able to make the actual website. On the other hand, if I read all of these materials, I'll be the authority on markets and anarchy!

ARGH!!!
