Looking for good Libetarian authors/books
 

Can I please get some recommendations of really good libertarian authors & books? The books can be straight political commentary or some type of fiction with a libertarian philosophy worked into it. I would prefer both.

thanks in advance.

This one...plus Elder's Ten Things You Can't Say In America(though this is a bit off track in terms of libertarian philosophy...it's still in the ballpark).

Rothbard, For a New Liberty

I'm not sure what thoughts are officially categorized under what political party/philosophy but I second the motion for Larry Elder's Ten Things... It really opened my eyes to the merits of less government and government not stepping on individual freedoms.

Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and all the signers of the Declaration of Independence along with Thomas Paine.

Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Re: Looking for good Libetarian authors/books
 

Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do

Why Government Doesn't Work

These are supposed to be two big ones in the field of Libertarian philosophy. I haven't read either of them though.

I'd suggest any of the Austrian school economists. Murray Rothbard, Ludwig Von Mises, and Friedrich Hayek. Here is an exhaustive list.

Check out www.lfs.org While it's centered around science fiction, there are quite a few that aren't.
For a few quick reccomendations:
Anything by L. Neil Smith
Anything by Robert Heinlein
Anything by Vin Suprynovicz (his recent fiction The Black Arrow is excellent)
Kings of the High Frontier by Victor Koman

Thomas Sowell.

in particular, I liked, The Quest for Cosmic Justice.
