Rudolf Rocker's "anarcho syndicalism", Kropotkin's "Anarchist Communism"

But why just limit it to Anarchism?

There's lots of threads about this sort of thing on here have a look around..

Alexander Berkman: What is Anarchism?
Rudolf Rocker: Anarcho-Syndicalism
Peter Kropotkin: Communism and Anarchy

there's a few nice meaty classics to get you started. You'll note you don't have to wander far from libcom.

malatesta's short essays are pretty good light reading.

'The Ecology of Freedom' Murray Bookchin. Not light reading, but whether you like Bookchin or not well worth reading.

I recommend:

Proposed Roads to Freedom, by Bertrand Russell;

Mutaul Aid, by Peter Kropotkin;

Conquest of Bread, by Peter Kropotkin;

Anarcho-syndicalism, by Rudolf Rocker;

And The Future of Government, by Noam Chomsky.

In that order.

Although I've come across a list of books referenced by Chomsky here:

Noam Chomsky Reading List

In the recommended section and anarchist category. I'm therefore about to try Anarchism by Daniel Guerin, which may make the list, as it sounds very good.
