So I'm sitting here in class realizing I love Philosophy's from that of a political nature to those of a social degree and I'm reading a lot into these things and love picking out quotes that have high value to me. I'd like to collect strings of quotes or philosophical books to read being a bit of a nerd in that field but yea any suggestions to read I'd love to take them up.
Currently Re-reading:
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
Politics by Aristotle
Art of War by Sun Tsu
Any more suggestions please notify me I'll be reading intently on a few of these as well as adding to my collection. =P
In fact I'll probably drop in a few references here.

I wonder how long this is allowed to be, I guess I could find out by typing a bunch of random stuff.

Hmm, cannot think of any great reads, but I do know that I enjoyed reading
Irrational Man: A Study in Existential Philosophy by William Barret
Like I said, not a great book but it is rather interesting none the less.

Just a few quotes from one of my favorite historical figures XD
The reputation of a man is like his shadow, gigantic when it precedes him, and pigmy in its proportions when it follows.
- Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
To succeed in the world, it is much more necessary to possess the penetration to discern who is a fool, than to discover who is a clever man.
- Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
Too much sensibility creates unhappiness and too much insensibility creates crime.
- Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
