Nikka I've read more books this year than you've read your whole life. Shut the fukk up and go reread art of war for the thousandth time. :mjlol:

What are you reading now!

Be mad your slow ass cant read brehs

you read more books than me yet you cant read a book in a day
:mjpls:
I read for info and knowledge not to skim through them quickly just to say I've read it only to forget everything weeks after. If you can read a book a day chances are you're rushing through it and will forget everything. Then what's the point?

I'm big on history, politics, law, etc. but I'll try to keep my recommendations general. Also do you have any other recommendations OP?
  • For success/business, psychology, etc. you should check out the Great Courses if you have an audible account, if not go to their website. They pretty much have everything.
  • The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander is really good (if you've already seen the Netflix documentary the 13th, then you have a good primer).
  • Medical Apartheid by Harriet Washington was really informative (as mentioned by another poster)
  • The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter Goodwin Woodson is a must, especially for young adults.
  • Gun Fight by Adam Winkler is probably one of the best primers out for for those interested in gun rights/control in America (I actually suggested it to one of my former professors as an auxiliary to his one of his courses. He liked it so much made it required reading).
  • If you're into A.I then Our Final Invention by James Barrat and Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom are really good (Bostrom's book is better, but much denser)
Others (that I haven't read):
  • Mastery by Robert Greene ~ I hear this is his best book, but obviously I haven't read it
  • White Rage by Carol Anderson ~ heard it was insightful about to the "whitelash" that follows anytime the black community makes progress.
  • The Beautiful Struggle and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates ~ Coates is a fantastic writer, even people who disagree with some of his points can appreciate him.
  • Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson ~ not out yet (pre-ordered), it's the next book that my girl and myself plan on reading together.

Great list, check out "meditations" by Marcus Aurelius if you have not
