Where to start?

Is there a meme for his books on what to read first?

I started with Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky. It's real big and took me a few months to read (it's not the size itself, but the depth of the material, the amount it 'opens your eyes', that you need to give time to settle in).

The great thing about it is that it's well edited transcripts of him answer questions and in interviews throughout the late 80's—90's. It covers a vast amount of ground, and is very conversational in its tone. You get that great Chomsky lecture, but you can read it about 5 times faster than it takes him to draw it out as you'll notice in recordings of his lectures. He is not the most inspirational speaker.

This book really was an education, and has completely changed the way I look at world affairs and media. We need a new Middle Ages.
