What book are you reading?

I finally got the book I ordered (for free) from Mises Institute. It’s called Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt (hardcover). I finished up reading From Monk To Money Manager a while back. I figured it’s a good time to continue learning more about money, resources, and economics.

Book 2 of game of thrones, and wallstreet and the Bolshevik revolution by Antony Sutton

Good call. I’ve recently been thinking I need to reread Economics in One Lesson, since it’s been a while since I’ve read it and I like to periodically reread it

Advanced Bushcrafting - Bushcrafting and Survivial
The Sapper Leader Course Handbook - Sapper school military stuff
CISSP study guide - Need this stupid cert.
Our Vietnam Wars - Vietnam stories from veterans
Man, Myth & Magic - An illustrated encyclopedia of the supernatural, my dad had these books they are very interesting. I like old literature, especially pre computers.
“Naked into the Wilderness” Primitive Wilderness Living and Survival Skills - This is another book of my dads which I think was important to him as it was signed by the authors.

Audiobooks or lectures on Youtube - I’ve been listening to a ton of Alan Watts and Terrance McKenna, fascinating stuff
I can’t read the same thing every night so I have a bunch going at once.

Hows this? I’ve been listening to a lot of stuff on Buddhism, mostly from Alan Watts.

It’s an excellent insightful book that covers a lot on Buddhist psychology and principles. One doesn’t have to be a Buddhist to understand and apply them in life.

Buddhism has changed my perspective on a lot of things, especially death. Have you read The Way of the Zen by watts?

Thats a great book.

Really great book, if you haven’t listened to any of Watt’s lectures you should give them a try.

Here’s a short one Alan Watts - Zen In Our Daily Life ( Bushido 1 ) - YouTube

That’s a pretty new channel. Lots of interesting videos. I’ll spend some time watching them.

Yeah if it interests you. I just picked that lecture because it was relatively short and links to bushido. There are a bunch of cool channels featuring Watts. Some have music set in the background and they are great to listen to before bed.
