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...

KGB - Komitet Gozudarstvenoy Bezopaznosti

twas the very first political book I've read at age 8, but I was never able to find it in any bookstore, online or otherwise. it's all about the Kremlin's KGB and it's inner workings - really dark but you'll learn a lot if you can find it

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!
