Abe Books is an "association of independent used book sellers".
Competition is good, right? Well, effectively, they're all in competition with each other even though they're all in one place.
The last book I ordered was _Britanica 1974 Yearbook Of Science And The Future_, which was one of the books in the day-prison library that I think I was the only one who read.
It's too bad that my kids aren't going to grow up with a 36-volume encyclopedia on the shelf to just take down and browse through, but there just isn't room for it any more.
FWIW, AbeBooks is now owned by Amazon.

Good way to make your introductory post with a largely irrelevant comment :)

Okooka:'The Deliverance from Error'
I think I saw the movie. River trip in rural Georgia?
No, 11th century religious work by an Islamic scholar XD
I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged. When I'm done I'm passing it on to my 13 year old sister, she's a real bookworm and might need a challange.
I'm not sure what I'll read next, but I'll probably get Johan Norberg's new book €n Perfekt $torm (A Perfect Storm) when it comes out in March. It's about the financial crisis, and Norberg is one of Sweden's best libertarian debaters, so I'm looking forward to reading it.
The Ethics of Money Production by Jorg Guido Hullsman
Just finished The Discourse on Voluntary Servitude by Etienne de La Boetie and I'm nearly done with The Law by Bastiat.

Okay, a response like that is just begging the question. As somebody who is still ignorant of a good amount of literature that this community has to offer... is there something especially controversial/exciting/complex about this work?

It's one of the first anarchist texts I read when I came here. Some devout left libertarians and agorists hold it in high regard. Sort of an Agorist Manifesto.
It's worth a read, we've already had the pro-con agorist debate here and the topic has died down for awhile now. I see less people promoting agorism (although that is no sign that it is decreasing, or that the debate here had any influence).
It's not a long read, worth checking out.

The whole agorism thing seemed like a left libertarian backlash to the success of RP if you ask me.
I had just finished "The Man vs. the State" by Herbert spencer, and I was going to start Man, Economy & State, as I've owned it for over a year now, and keep putting off reading it until "after this next book." But I ordered Human Action (SE) last month, and it arrived the very day I finished TMvTS. I was torn over which to begin; Rothbard's or Mises' magnum opus (I've already read several smaller works by each). I decided to start with Human Action, and to MES immediately after. I'm glad I did, so far, as HA has me fascinated. I'm just beginning the second part, on man in society.

Not at all. In fact, many of us agorists (myself included) became so after realizing the futility of the political process, largely due to the failure of the Paul campaign. But agorism itself has been around much longer - both in theory and in practice - than Ron Paul's recent fame. Since the early eighties, I think.
