I was searching MR for biographies and or nonfiction books on Shakespeare, I found this post. I'll follow my gut too.
These are not my favorite or the best books I've read although four of the books are among my all time favorite books.
These are in order of when I read them. You can see which ones have had more influence by the fact that I've written about them on my blog.
- It's Not About the Bike- one of the first books I read. I reread multiple times, even in 2024 more here and here. it gave me a false belief about the world that had a big influence on me.
- Jarhead : A Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battle- helped me overcome some of my young and dumb masculinity.
- Into the Wild- huge impact on me. I wanted to be like McCandless. I say a lot more here as to why I did and do love this book.
- Tuesday with Morrie- huge impact on me wanting to be a good and better person. Love for all. I wrote more about it here and here too.
- Siddhartha- I've this book every year, since I first read it. Huge influence. Why I reread over and over here. A sample of how much I read, think, and write about Siddhartha is here.
- War and Peace- proved I had the ability to read and understand real books. Read more here.
- Gilgamesh- Timeless story that really captures what people like to call human nature.
- The Man Who Wasn't There: Investigations into the Strange New Science of the Self- gave a broader understanding of the human mind.
- Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy- got me very interested in economics.
- Big Business- along with economics, makes a strong argument for big business. Really changed the way I see and blame problems on businesses.
