I have one hell of a list of books to get through this year. I just finished The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis which dives into the backstories of Danny Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Their work influenced economics and medicine greatly and while a lot of what they said now seem like common sense and foregone conclusions, their work was groundbreaking at the time. I need to write down all of the books I’m planning to read and create an order to read in them otherwise I’m liable to slip books into my reading list and not get through them all.

1. Lila, Robert Pirsig
2. People’s History of the United States, Howard Zinn
3. Fantasyland, Kurt anderson
4. Shockwave Rider, John Brunner
5. Religion and the Decline of Magic, Keith Thomas
6. Rhetoric, Aristotle
7. Politics, Aristotle
8. Second Treatise of Government, John Locke
9. Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes
10. The Point of View of the Universe, Lazari-Radek/Singer

Some of these are short and some of these are long. They’re all dense though… There’s another list about equally long that I haven’t even typed out partially because it’d look too daunting and partially because this is a 2018 goal of sorts. Depending on where I am in three months, I might reassess. I will need to cut back on my podcast consumption and switch to books for awhile if I have any hope of catching up.
