Everybody has his/her own problem. Not everybody can afford leisure. I buy books but can hardly afford a proper accommodation (my place is always noisy) that would allow me to read the books I buy. Also, I am surrounded by people who NEVER read. I don't like that. Internet is the only place I can go to and talk about books

My question would be: Who decides what humans did? Reading Howard Zinn's People's History will offer very different answers than those offered by orthodox historians using the top-down hero model.
He’s right, it depends on our own interests, genres and passion. Some people like literature while others likes history etc. it really depends on what we like to know and what captivates us want to read.
Kill Chain by Andrew Cockburn, Dirty Wars by Jeremy Scahill; Shadow Wars by Christopher Davidson provides excellent background for the multi-decade campaign of America fucking with Afghanistan for its own gains.
Prof. Chomsky may not give us the reading lists but we all do read all his books thoroughly, don't we?

Chomsky's answer is perfectly in sync with anarchist thinking. Who is he to tell you what to read? Anarchism is ultimately about enlightenment.
Read history books. The only way to understand humans is by reading about what they did, not about what they should do.

I like how he used the opportunity to give a shout to an old friend. Chomsky is a great dude.
Thank you, Mr Chomsky, for suggesting one of my favorite books about U. S. History! (Can't get a better recommendation than that!)
People may not be asking you to decide what to read for them, but to suggest essential readings to educate.
just tell me daddyyy
"To the reading of many books is wearisome to the soul...SOLOMON
The one book Chomsky mentions has been suggested as banned reading by Trump. They are directly dichotomous
