Luke Burgis offers a reading list for creators & entrepreneurs.

Personally, I’d replace Mill & Emerson with Middlemarch & any Jane Austen. And add McGilchrist as the third book for this century, along with some poetry.

But it’s an excellent set of books nonetheless! 📚

Finished reading: When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi.

What a remarkable book. I love academic memoirs, & this fits within that genre—but pushes well beyond it as well. It’s also a profound meditation on cancer, mortality, healthcare, poetry, faith, love, & family. Highly recommended. 📚

Finished reading: Cahokia Jazz by Francis Spufford.

This book is incredible—it connects many of my interests: jazz, counterfactual American history, religion, noir; the characters are wonderfully unique; the plot is gripping. Highly recommended! 📚
