After finishing End the Fed by Ron Paul last week, I decided to return to worlds of fantasy and wonder starting with The Lost Fleet: Victorious by Jack Campbell. I've also been getting small doses of audio book of The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfus.
Good times.
What are you reading?

The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.

I finished Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa and am now changing it up a bit by reading Circle of Intrigue by Texe Marrs.
We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far and no further!

Just finished Circle of Intrigue by Texe Marrs. While his prediction of the New World Order coming to fruition in 2000 didn't happen, his book was fascinating. It detailed the modern history of the Illuminati. Too bad it's a bit dated. There was an appendix with a list of people that would be useful if it wasn't from the 1980s.
EDIT: Reading The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek

Just finished The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek. Highly recommend this to Bean, Saint, VP (though I don't think he needs this as urgently), and Xteven. You'd like it and I think it would cause you to rethink some opinions.
Now, I am reading The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion by the World Zionist Congress of 1897.

Made in America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States by Bill Bryson.
Bill Bryson is one of my all time favorite authors. He does such a great job at providing historical information in an interesting way that is concise. He narrates his books like he is sitting down with you and spinning some insightful, funny, and interesting anecdotes. I always strive to tell History the same way he does. Great look into the American-English lexicon and how it all developed. There are so many different words and behaviours America has created for a ton of different reasons. The book is divided up into different genres of life starting with colonial English and other sections like one Food, Travel, Westward expansion, etc. For anyone who enjoys History or informative anecdotes, I highly recommend this book and all of Bryson's work.
Not "conspiracies". Conspiracy. Singular.

Finished The Protocols.
I will be reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzche and H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction.
