Albert Camus: Lyrical and Critical Essays
My favorites - Love of Life and Rains of New York. Uff. Thank you to The Marginalian for the find.
Beyond Good and Evil
I tried to tattoo the cover of this book onto my foot. At times its a slog, but when Nietzche hits, he hits hard.
Elon Musk
Elon has done so much; mercurial and complicated but incredible too. Worth it for many reasons.
Pathways to Bliss
Chicken soup for the soul. Campbell is a genius.
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Another personal hero. Recommend the audio version. Filled with so many glittering insights.
The Dream Machine
One of the best books on the history of the internet. We are standing on the shoulders of giants!
The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, 1874 - 1965
A personal hero and the most I've ever read on a single person. Well worth it - Winston's life reads like an epic.
The Lessons of History
Written in magma. Worth reading and re-reading.
The Rational Optimist
Wonderful and amazing antidote to the nihilists and naysayers.
This is Water
"...there is no such thing as atheism. Everybody worships." Worth a once a year re-listen.
William Faulkner's Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech
Worth memorizing.
