Books that I read and liked

I read a book, and I liked it.

I've read only a few books, and here are ones I feel strongly about listing here for some reason. Also, I wrote why I put each one on the list. Consider taking these as recommendations.

  1. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin / Benjamin Franklin
    Because I like the virtue stuff and hearing about how a fellow human lived.
  2. Sunlilies / Graham Pardun
    Because it's joyful, inspiring, and comforting.
  3. Return / Arch. Nektarios Antonopoulos
    Because it's practical.
  4. Logicomix / Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos H. Papadimitriou (art by Alecos Papadatos and Annie Di Donna)
    Because what is truth? and can you be certain?
  5. The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood / James Gleick
    Because it shows the fundamental basis of the information age.
  6. The Chronicles of Narnia / C. S. Lewis
    Because it's a bunch of nice fireside stories.
  7. The Lord of the Rings / J. R. R. Tolkien
    Because it's cool and a good story with important life lessons and ideas inside.
  8. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens / Sean Covey
    Because it had good ideas for me when I was a teenager.
  9. Gödel Escher Bach, an Eternal Golden Braid / Douglas Hofstadter
    Because it is a funny take on what how self-reference relates to "mind".
  10. The Case for Patriarchy / Timothy J. Gordon
    Made me realize the degeneracy of Western society, and gave me hope.
  11. The Hidden Life of Trees / Peter Wohlleben
    Interesting topic.
  12. Longitude / Dava Sobel
    Interesting topic.
  13. Chaos / James Gleick
    Interesting topic.
  14. Irreversible Damage / Abigail Shrier
    If men don't protect women, then who will?
  15. The Alphabet Versus the Goddess / Leonard Shlain
    Interesting exploration ideas on a philosophical level, otherwise this book is pretty bogus.
  16. The Four Agreements / Don Miguel Ruiz
    Very good for what I would call "self-actualization".

Now, look at Books that I want to read.
