Waiting for Godot
Have recently come to appreciate the awesome, absurdist humor of Waiting for Godot. We so often wait, without knowing why, when or where.
Marx's Das Kapital
Read Das Kapital when I was 14, incl cross-checking English translation of original German. Adam Smith FTW obv. Ironically, future automation will naturally lead to greater equality of consumption. Monopolies are true enemy of people. Competing to serve is good.

If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
Great book. Read it when it came out.
Vincent Van Gogh Starry Night
What's your favorite design book?
A book of the most beautiful classic cars given to me on my 18th birthday on a farm in Saskatchewan. Van Gogh's Starry Night.
Catherine the Great
Just finished Massie's book on Catherine. An amazingly expansive and compelling portrait of an incredible woman. Highly recommend.
The Lost Planet
My kids love "The Lost Planet" by @RachelSearles. Now on a rare second read!
Merchants of Doubt
Worth reading Merchants of Doubt. Same who tried to deny smoking deaths r denying climate change
Consider Phlebas
Reading The Culture series by Banks. Compelling picture of a grand, semi-utopian galactic future. Hopefully not too optimistic about AI.
