This is imo going to become required reading for history majors in the future, and I may even try to get it incorporated in high school classes when I'm teaching.

The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli - 10/10

I'm excited for the rest of the book.

I read A Brief History of Time which was good but I think this book has more potential for reaching out to the average reader because it is so accessible.

Just finished it. The warping of spacetime and explanation of gravity by Einstein's general theory of relativity is prob the coolest thing ive ever heard.

Just finished reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand - a very good read.

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad - 10/10

reading Of Human Bondage

Great read and I think it might especially appeals to a cadre of readers on this board.

Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace. Consequently, I'm also reading the dictionary.

Yo, definitely loved Heart of Darkness. Even more so after looking up its author and period written. Its an impressive piece of prose.

To the person who posted the Prince, I read that for a project last year and thought it was a very interesting read. Always wondered what Machiavelli's motivations really were

I figured the tone and style would be something youd like. Glad you enjoyed it.
