Little Social Experiment

I also enjoyed Freakanomics. It’s great intellect-piquing entertainment.

But if you really want something that will change your life, especially if you’re looking to do something entrepreneurial (but not necessarily), and something that dispenses with BS and goes into specifics, put “The 4-Hour Workweek” by Timothy Ferriss at the top of your list. Do it now.

I noticed you had The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles in your list of books.

By the same author, I’d recommend The Science of Becoming Excellent by Wallace D. Wattles and Dr. Judith Powell

March of the Barbarians, by Harold Lamb, changed my entire euro-centric view on history. Great book.

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. So far, it’s by far my favorite book – I’ve read it 3 times in the last year and it hasn’t gotten old yet…

Dostoevsky’s The Brother’s Karamazov and Bolgakov’s The Master and Margarita

And if anyone is interested in short stories, read Chekhov’s Ward Number 6 and Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Anything by Pynchon is good, too.
