Happy Independence Day – and, my Freedom and Future Library

Reading Project: Freedom and Future Library

Could there possibly be a better day on which to finally follow up on my Freedom and Future Library post?

Truth be told, I’d been hoping to compile this much faster, but RL threw a major spanner in the works pretty much all of last week and both of the past weekends.  But, anyway, here we are at last.

Thank you once more to everybody who contributed ideas and suggestions!  A special thank you to Knight of Angels, whom some on BookLikes may remember as Troy, and who instantly took up the baton and came up with a magnificent Freedom and Equality Library in the space of a single day, which I’m shamelessly including in mine in its entirety (as I am also including everybody else’s reading recommendations, of course). — This list contains plenty of books that are new to me, as well as a number of books (and shorter texts) that I’ve already read but am planning to revisit, or have been revisiting every so often already anyway.

So, here is the complete list in alphabetical order — in the coming days, I’m planning to also break it down into topical reading lists, to make it somewhat easier to parse.  English titles of the books included in my library in another language are given in parentheses.
