The Intelligent Investor - Benjamin Graham
In The Name of Rome - Adrian Goldsworthy (better than The Art of War by Sun Tzu)
Collapse - Jared Diamond
The Arms of Krupp - William Manchester
The Dragons of Eden - Carl Sagan

The Animal Farm- which showed me that I wasn't nuts, that the reality I was seeing was actually THE reality. It's of course why George got himself banned in the Workers Paradise.
for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. Proverbs 24:16 my favorite bit.
Carson of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Catchy cover, couldn't put it down and a SF reader for life...
The Rational Male, by Rollo Tomassi
The Myth of Male Power, by Warren Farrell
The Republic, by Plato - admittedly I did not read he entire book, but I received an A+ for the entire course.
Many others which I will ponder, and I will get back to you.

Fun with Dick and Jane. It's how I learned to read in 1959, and it changed everything.
Deep Work - Cal Newport
Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion - Robert B. Cialdini
The Art of Learning - Joshua Waitzkin

"The Function Of The ORGASM" by Wilhelm Riech.
I read the whole book, but not sure you need to ...well, maybe you need to read it all, to get and make the commitment.
Great mental health through proper breathing and pelvic thrusts leading to orgasm ...hard orgasms ...in intercourse.
Pity the current edition does not have the same drawings and figures by Riech.
PS - For those into porn, CIM, COF, COB, or jerking, you might not bother with this book. You could get a paper cut turning the pages !!!
Since my read and study of this book, long ago, I have always been committed to CIV. Although I must admit that damn, 'The Ashley Experience' has overpowered my true desire on ocassion, but just from time to time.

I remember "Mr. Whiskers"!! Think we read it in grade 1....and then I named my kitty cat Mr. Whiskers.
If I recall, there was also a reader called "Surprise"I remember "Mr. Whiskers"!! Think we read it in grade 1....and then I named my kitty cat Mr. Whiskers.
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.
I know I know, he’s become a bit of an eccentric kook over the past handful of years but his earlier work really broke down the recipe for success which I’ve followed and have had great success with my side hustle.
Basically it’s 50% talent and 50% timing. The biggest take away is that when your timing is right, you better be ready to pounce. No half measures or the guy behind you will take your opportunity.
