I meant that as a founder I can't stomach reading startup and "startup life" content. There are more valuable lessons about building and operating a business in reading Mark Twain than there are in reading Marc Andreessen. So, when I read, I read entirely non-startup stuff.

Now I get it Throw! My wrong. Yep, totally aligned with your point here. I guess what I tried to convey as value proposition is more "what you should read in order to become a founder". For the time being, I have to rely on Twitter/X to get what founders share but yeah, it´s totally different to what one should read to become a whole human being/founder. Hopefully coming versions will add what founders are reading OUTSIDE the startup bubble. Personally I read history and philosophy/psichology. Thanks for your insight, really appreciate it!
Here here! My recent good reads (5y or so) are Permutation City, Accelerando, and just now re-reading Dune.
Hey Lostmsu! Those sound like great recommendations! Gonna try to find them. Haven´t read Dune but it seems worth it. Thanks for sharing them bro!
