philosophy books?

[robert1986]

What are ten great philosophy books I should purchase and read? 

I am looking at certain authors but uncertain which book they have is most important. Can you suggest one book for each author? If there are other authors what can you suggest? 

 

- Nietzsche

- Aristotle: Nichomachian Ethics

- Socrotes

- Marcus Aurelias: Meditations 

- Adam Smith 

- FrederBastiat: The Law 

- Ludwig Von Mises

- Ayn Rand: Atlas Shrugged 

You suggest two more authors and one book each

Hi @robert1986

I would certainly give a browse to Jordan B. Peterson's booklist.

It's not philosophy but there's these two great books I thought you might enjoy / benefit from reading. (I did, immensely)

1. Eric Berne - Games that people play

2. Daniel Keyes - Flowers for Algernon
