Would any of you like to share your favorite books- 
particularly related to economics and/or libertarian philosophy? I am 
starting a reading list as tommorrow is the last day of any undergraduate work 
and I should have some time for plenty of reading.

So far I have:
 J.S. Mill- On Liberty
 Brennan and Lomasky- 
Democracy and Decision
 Richard Posner- Economics of 
Justice
 David D. Friedman- Law's 
Order, Hidden Order, Intermediate   
 Price Theory
 Murray Rothbard- 
Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature,  
  The Ethics of Liberty

Perhaps cliche, but in a similar law and econ vein, but not quite as
technical as Posner, try Richard Epstein, _Simple Rules for a Complex
World_.  Or the first volume of Buchanan's collected works from Liberty Fund
(for those of us, like me, who cannot make it through more technical pieces
of his).
