Has anyone actually read Chomsky's works?

Most I've encountered who talk about him appear to not actually have read much on him.


Currently reading "Who rules the world". From the first 30 pages alone we get an outline of US backed atrocities from the Obama years all the way back to the founding of the US. He talks about US and Israel backed purges in Latin America, and how one man's "Freedom fighter" is another man's "Terrorist", specifically depending on whether they oppose our enemies or our own policies and interests.

No one is spared from his criticism, Reagan is called out as a butcher and murderer, Bush is accused of starting home grown torture chambers in black sites, while Clinton and Obama are accused of continuing the old tradition of farming out torture while keeping our hands clean, and overall causing much more suffering then Bush did.


I've really only just started reading this and already have a lot to take in, but what are some of his better works to check out? Is there overlap in his books, or does each have something new that makes it worth reading?

Most of his stuff is very specific to certain topics. Obviously avoid his linguistics stuff if you're not interested in that. I'd also avoid the ones compilated from interviews. His more broad topics books tend to be more interesting. I'd go with Making the Future and Requiem for the American Dream.
