think more deeply about what you read, you’ll be able to go through a series of books of the same subject or author without getting sick. Having periods in one’s studies for a range of related material is useful

Consider broader implications of what you learn. Relate it to other information and synthesize to arrive at mire original and creative thought. Ask why and question everything.

>The life and games of Mikhael Tal

That's on my list for a long long time. Did you enjoy it? How is Tal as a writer? Does he write as entertaining as he plays chess?

Tal actually graduated in Russian literature. His thesis was about Ilf & Petrov works and humor.

Keep going my man. This is great.

24. I may have completed 10-15 books in total in my entire lifetime, I think The physicists was my favourite one thus far. The book I hated the most was Crabwalk.

In the last 5 years the books I managed to finish were:
- The Elegance of the Hedgehog
- No longer Human (liked it a lot)
- Fool's life by Akutagawa

What I'm trying to finish for a while now:
- Tractatus by Wittgenstein (20 pages left)
- Ego and his Own (read 150 pages)
- Demons by Dostojevsky (150 pages)
- Critique of Pure Reason (150 again)
- Beyond Good and Evil (read 60 pages)

Yeah, I know it's poor, but I find it hard to finish what I start (After 150 pages some kind of barrier emerges). I generally prefer short books, because they're less intimidating. Also I can't remember plot, family relations and names of characters in novels and have to write it down. Sometimes OCD fucks with me and forces me to start with page one again and again, making me unable to finish a book, like with The Castle (liked it a lot, but got sick of the constant repeated attempts). I generally dislike fiction, especially sci-fi or LOTR style books, never cared for this stuff.

Last few books I finished:
1. Faserland by Christian Kracht
2. Potential by Ariel Schrag
3. Awkward and Definition by Ariel Schrag
4. The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

I don' really remember, it's been sometime and I currently read way less than I want to and have like three or more books laying around half finished:

1. At The Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft (45% finished)
2. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (30% finished
3. Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible by Peter Pomerantsev (70% finished)

Forgot to mention "Tao Te Ching" in the books I finished the last 5 years, it got me started with philosophy in the first place.

Last five books:
>Nicomachus - Introduction to Arithmetic
>Leon Walras - Elements of Pure Economics
>Apollonius - On Conics Books V - VII (trans. G. J. Toomer)
>Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Emile; or On Education

Next five:
>Irving Fisher - Mathematical Investigations into the Theory of Value and Price
>Plato - The Laws
>Ibn Al-Haytham - Completion of the Conics
>Alexander Hamilton/James Madison - The Federalist Papers
>Vilfredo Pareto - Manual of Political Economy

Most likely in that order, too. Laws is the only ''''easy'''' read. And I do read that one rather carefully as well, as this Platonic dialogue, in particular, is structured rather loosely, yet has core tenets that the Athenian stranger will go back and reference frequently.

Oh sorry I need one more book I have read.

I have a romantic view of living/surviving/traveling in the outdoors, and living as a vagabond, hobo-type, so the story was very comfy to me. Plus, it is written with a beautiful appreciation for nature and man's persistence.

See you in 30 days.
