August 7, 2009 10:29AM # Summer — or Back to School — Reading By [David Boaz](https://www.cato.org/people/david-boaz) --- SHARE The Cato Institute has published thousands of books, studies, articles, and op-eds, and most of them are [on our website](https://www.cato.org). But there’s lots of good reading material published elsewhere, and now our analysts are offering handy [guides to the best reading](https://www.cato.org/research/readinglist.html) in such fields as Principles of Liberty, Constitutional Studies, Health Care, Foreign Policy, and more. I know that reading lists can sometimes be intimidating — where to start? — and too much of just a list. So these lists are annotated; each recommendation is briefly described. And at my insistence, (almost) all the analysts have started their lists with “Read This First” to suggest a foundational or introductory book or essay. Check them out [here](https://www.cato.org/research/readinglist.html).
