Agreed! :)

Also, do you have or maintain a list of great books which you came across ? I see your profile, and you mention "Philosopher, writer and entrepreneur traveling the world."

I would love to see your bookshelf :)

- Notes on Culture by T. S. Eliot

- In Praise of Shadows by Tanizaki

- The Qur'an: Oxford World Classics

- On Bohemia by GraƱa

- The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt

- The Individual and His Property by Stirner

Thanks a lot for responding and sharing your book recommendations! :)

If you start maintaining a list, would there be a way to know that ? Would you be sharing here on HN ?

Sure, if I ever do, I will let you know! I've bookmarked this comment.
