Recommended Reading
Starting a thread here for folks to post any recommended books or even lists of recommended reading. My last post about The Almanack of Naval Ravikant linked to his list of recommended reading and I think it would be interesting to see what others also recommend...

Some interesting titles there! I've read the Art of War, and I just read finished reading The Prophet by Khalil Gibran yesterday. I love fairy tales as well, though I haven't read the Arabian Nights yet. I'm most familiar with the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. I've never heard of that KGB book; I'll be on the lookout for it now... Thanks for sharing!
I love love love all Brothers Grimm stories!!
Hans Christian Andersen though is a bit boring for me lol

I listened to a podcast with Doug Casey yesterday and two books he recommended were "The Principles of Economics" by nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak and "Defending the Undefendable" by Walter Block. There was also a humorous discussion about how Saif trounced Walter in a debate about Palestine and Israel...
Where can I find the Palestine discussion?
The Palestine-Israel debate was apparently on the Bitcoin Standard podcast a few months ago. (I haven't heard it yet myself.) Here is the link:
