Hello! I recently watched the movie Captain Fantastic. While I don't necessarily recommend this movie (it was a little far fetched for me, but had its moments), I did notice the name Noam Chomsky come up during a specific scene of the movie and thought to myself, hmm I have no idea who this person is. Then, later that day, I saw an article about Noam Chomsky in the news and thought, oh! This is that person again! I had better actually look him up...
I read a bit about him yesterday and saw he had a film on Netflix. I watched the film last night (Requiem for the American Dream - this one I do recommend), and wow. I don't know how I made it to 35 without ever hearing about this person.
I want to read a couple of his books. Anyone a fan and have a few favorites they could suggest? He's written SO MANY BOOKS it's hard to know where to start. I would not be as interested in his works on linguistics, and am more looking to read his books on politics, economy, and other social commentary. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks! :)
