I am going to order a few last-minute books for Christmas gifts. I want some books that are interesting to read but also related to the philosophy of liberty - unfortunately, nobody will want to read through a book about economics, for example. Something more exciting.

Any suggestions?

For what it's worth, these are the books I asked Santa for this year:

"Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse is novel set in the near future that describes a full scale socioeconomic collapse. More than just an exciting read, it is packed with useful survival and preparedness tips. It was described by one reviewer as "A survival manual neatly dressed as fiction.""

Best short accessible book stating the case for a voluntary (stateless) society. Highly recommended:
