What order should I read these books in?

Karl Marx - The Communist Manifesto, Aristotle - Politics, Aristotle - Poetry, George Orwell - Animal Farm, George Orwell - 1984, Socrates, Sun Tzu - Art of War, Lenin - Two Tactics of Social Democracy, Deepak Chopra - Seven Spirital Laws of Success, Chomsky - Freedom, Sovereignty, & Other Endangered Species

I downloaded these to listen to on my Ipod when I am working. Where should I start. I wanted to learn some philosophy and stuff.

    If you are coming to this new, I would read Animal farm first. It is short and was intended for a general audience. 1984 is too depressing.

    Then go and buy yourself a decent primer on politics. Something simple, so you get a rapid overview.

    After that I suspect you will have your own idea how to proceed with the others.

    I would suggest you read Sun Tzu, Socrates, Aristotle, Marx, Orwell Animal Farm, Orwell 1984, Lenin Chopra and Chomsky. The ideas in one book will help you pick the ideas on the following ones: you'll have a lot of trouble if you read Aristotle before Socrates or Lenin before Marx, to give an example. Good luck with your reading :)
