what i'm reading

Here you'll find a short description of what I'm currently reading, along with an archive of previous books I've read since starting this blog.

Reading Right Now

Human Action: A Treatise on Economics, by Ludwig von Mises
Started 4/15/12
Considered Mises' magnum opus, Human Action defends laissez-faire economics from the philosophical foundation of aprioristic reasoning about human behavior.

Generation Kill, by Evan Wright
Started 5/5/12
The life and times of the U.S. Marines' First Recon Battalion, as seen through the eyes of Rolling Stone reporter Evan Wright.

Previously Read


Jung: A Very Short Introduction, by Anthony Stevens
Started 4/28/12
Finished 5/5/12
I decided to give myself some background on Jung's life and overall ideals before delving into the esoteric monster that is Psychological Types (1921). In Jung: A VSI, Stevens gives a broad overview on who Carl Jung was and what he believed. It was a quick read but extremely information-rich. While I don't have a whole lot of direct interaction with Jung's ideas, I believe Jung: A VSI has given me a solid overview of the man and his work. I'll soon be taking on Psychological Types.
