That's one of the reasons I like short stories. :)

I liked those of W. Somerset Maugham. It has been so long since I read his stuff I forget the titles.

Haven't read this yet, but it sounds neat:
Just My Type by Simon Garfield
http://www.amazon.com/Just-My-Type-About-Fonts/dp/1592407463
"Simon Garfield’s Just My Type presents an entertaining history of fonts, from font "pirating" dating back nearly as far as Gutenberg to the creation of Comic Sans and Ikea’s font-change controversy. With a variety of recent, news-making examples and font samples throughout, Just My Type explains how and why certain fonts can elicit emotions or gut-instinct reactions. Garfield’s humor and historical anecdotes add to his deep understanding of how something as simple as font choice can speak volumes about our cultural climate--and why it’s so easy to agonize over what font to use on a party invitation. Whether you’re already a font aficionado or can’t tell the difference between Times New Roman and Arial, this entertaining history will give you a greater appreciation of the typefaces that surround you every day. --Malissa Kent"

I am currently reading: the name of the wind
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Name-Wind-Kingkiller-Chronicle/dp/0575081406/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430825924&sr=8-1&keywords=name+of+the+wind
It is actually pretty amazing if you are any into fantasy. The development of characters is quite nice.

I have read it already, but didn't liked it as much as other do. I still prefer Conan ...

I have no idea what I'm going to be reading over the next month or so, but I think "The Law" will be about at the top.
I will have a good amount of time available to read at length, and have got my mini-library ready.
While there are a few "must reads" that I want to get to, "Our Enemy, The State.pdf" just seems too tempting. :) I gotta see what that's about.

I have downloaded about 90 books from Mises.org and at this moment I am down to 42.
I have downloaded those from your list that I do not have. Thanx for posting it.

"... What you read in this book will, in all likelihood, go directly against what you have been taught by your parents and your teachers, what you have been told by the churches, the media and the government, and much of what you, your family and your friends have always believed. Nonetheless, it is the truth, as you will see if you allow yourself to consider the issue objectively. Not only is it the truth, it also may be the most important truth you will ever hear ...":
