Boom!

You’ve reached The Friendly Anarchist, which is rather cool. Because I like to meet new readers, and you like to read interesting stuff. Or that’s what I suppose, at least.

But: This blog has been in existence ever since late 2009,  and the last time I checked, there were more than 140 posts published. They’ll probably make up a good three or four books altogether, so you probably won’t want to read them all at once. This is why I’ve created this little page. It gives you an overview on the topics so far and recommends some of the best and most popular articles.
