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. 📚
Currently reading: Middlemarch by George Eliot.
An old favorite. Profound from the first paragraph. 📚

So great! Handed it off to my daughter—she’s 11; I’m sure she’ll enjoy it just as much. 📚
