Hello from the new editor
As this is my first time at bat, I thought it might be appropriate to tell you a bit about myself. I'm a long-time freedom activist and, like many libertarians, an avid reader. I began writing book reviews after friends began asking for my opinions on various books. Then I discovered that some folks were willing to pay me for using my reviews -- and even better, that authors would send me review copies.
With that kind of response, I began devoting more and more time to reading and reviewing books. I enjoy discovering new authors and interesting pro-freedom ideas, as well as classic libertarian books.
Reviewing books is only part of what I'm doing, though. I'm involved in several projects online, including the Liberty Round Table and Doing Freedom! 'zine. I also do a fair bit of writing of my own, which is sprinkled about the web.
But back to the matter at hand: books.
As I said, I enjoy all sorts of books, and would like to bring more information on great libertarian books to Free-Market.Net readers. If you have ideas or suggestions, please send them to me at bookworm@free-market.net. Thank you!
And now, to this month's Freedom Book of the Month.
