December 9, 2001. This page is, as yet, incomplete. There are many more books that I've read which still haven't been added to the list below. Rectification of these omissions is slowly progressing, however.

December 24, 2003. In the last two years, I've spent more time reading than updating this page! Some important authors I've just read for the first time include Cicero, Robert L. Heilbroner, F. A. Hayeck, Milton and Rose Friedman, Oscar Wilde, Maria Edgeworth, Upton Sinclair, and Daniel Defoe.
