If I may say so, 'The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight' and 'The Prophet's Way' are the best ones, I often reread them and they have impacted my life hugely. As for the rest of them, you could just as well check them out of the library, imvho. If you're really set on buying more, I'd be more than willing to send my copies of 'Unequal Protection' and 'We the People' to you for free. I bought them and read them several years ago, but for a European it's mainly yesterday's news.

Postage for books is really expensive! If you've never read Thoreau (1817-1862), I'd highly suggest him. He made a huge impact on my life. As an innovator in American thought, his works should have been required reading in the schools..but wasn't and isn't.
QUOTE "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
ANOTHER: "If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."
