Some titles I have listened to recently
Some of Mark Twain's works
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville
This book was written by a Frenchman with the propose of helping France to devise a better system of government. It is a great historical account of 1831 America and France. I learned a little about politics and political science. I would like to learn more.
The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith.
Economics is pretty cool.
The Federalist Papers
The Anti-Federalist Papers
