Aside from my manuscript and a HUGE thousand plus page book on insurance case law, I recently started rereading The Count of Monte Cristo. Still one of my favorites of all time.

Thinking Fast amd Slow by nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman.

Entertaining and interesting read on cognitive bias. How we think by instinct, decisions we make and general behavioral science stuff.

Copy and pasted from Goodreads:
In the highly anticipated Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities—and also the faults and biases—of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. The impact of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning the next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions.

Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow will transform the way you think about thinking.

"De Profoundis" by Oscar Wilde. This just shows how the Western mindset is forever restricted within extremes even when someone wants to seek for atonement for their crimes, but ultimately once again falling back into evil... :(

The western canon by Harold Bloom

It's really entertaining because it's just such a prvocative and sarcastic book. Right now I'm looking for something more like fantasy

Exploring Microeconomics
7th edition
By Sexton

Best book EVARR!!!! totally stoked about reading it! only costed $195, but worth every penny. It even comes with homework and an annoying instructor that's pretty useless at lectures...
