I want to buy a book on the way home from work and have landed on something by Chomsky; I was considering some Howard Zinn but I have read that his work is poorly sourced and kinda biased.
Manufacturing Consent is probably his best known work. The Indispensable Chomsky is basically a series of interview excerpts, but has most of his major ideas sketched out.
Chomsky is much different than Zinn. HZ is a (pretty bad) historian, Chomsky is a...social theorist, I guess? His main field is actually linguistics.

I read "What we say Goes" about a year or so ago and it was pretty good
