Martin Eden

Martin Eden was the best

- Hpmor, from Yudkowsky the guy who created the ML Research Institute, simply one of the funniest and smartest book I ever read. - Martin Eden, a great tragic adventure from the late 19th century about a poor smart guy from the slums who tries to make his riches as a writer - The Moon is Harsh Mistress, Elon’s favorite sci-fi books - Foundation by Asimov - Homo Deus by Harari - Principles by Ray Dalio

Martin Eden by Jack London. Really stressed why education actually matters. Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Same.

"Financier" by T.Dreiser and "Martin Eden" by J.London. Some of the best books you'll ever read about character development. Definitely read the latter one if you're in your early 20-ies.
