The #1 way to be cool....

...is to be reading two 1000-page books at the same time. For me, Human Action and Atlas Shrugged. Did I mention I'm cool?

I'm about halfway through Human Action (awesome awesome awesome) and just started Shrugged which is my first Rand read. Good stuff so far. I'm also reading Hans-Hermann Hoppe's 'The Economics and Ethics of Private Property' and am just about finished with Rothbard's 'Case Against The Fed', which has been illuminating me on issues of fractional-reserve banking, of which I haven't studied much up till now. Illuminating and amazing stuff. I never cease to be amazed at the level of scholarship Rothbard displayed throughout his tragically-shortened life.
