Everything Hampton Sides writes is a good book. I highly recommend "Blood and Thunder" if anyone's interested in the West. Same with Erik Larson, and some others, Krakaur, etc...
T.H.White: The Once and Future King Dan Simmons: The Terror; Drood Max Brooks: World War Z; Devolution
I read that book everyday, great choice indeed. Also reading, Your Money or Your Life right now. Trying to get better with my finances, illuminating book on the subject. Others I've recently read are The Simple Path to Wealth, ChooseFI, The 4 Hour Work Week, and First To a Million.
Rich dad poor dad is a must for all beginners. Stop buying liabilities and buy assets. The compound effect is my third favorite book, you get the big momentum going and you don't look back. I've also made it a ritual where I lift weights in my living room and watch YouTube videos of Tom Nash, Zip trader and Jerry Romine. Thank me later.
This was a nightmare of a journey indeed. You just knew things weren't going to go well with some of the people they resorted to hiring before sailing off on their expedition.
