Agreed - like it or not it's the foundation of our civilization

anti-fragility is the book that has made me think more than any other I've read in the past few years. If you can get past the childish name calling it's worth it

I just read antifragile and while I like the ideas I can't imagine how insufferable the author is in person

one of my favorite books and one of the best books on the use of power in american government that currently exists.

A Supposedly fun thing is great. DFW is so insightful and hilarious

His powers of observation are unlike any other. the articles are hilarious, sad, thought provoking, and insightful all at once.

His series on Lyndon Johnson is also incredible.

I recommend them if you are interested in 20th century american history

Really good book about ancient China and it's relationship to the near present day

The 42nd parallel by John Dos Passos - really good novel about America at the turn of the century until the depression. Considered a classic
