    Life is too short to read shitty self help books that’s written by influencers(yuck) or some LLM shit books. Read the classics.

      You gotta find your favorite classics. I can’t read some old 19th century British lady writing about 18th century British teenagers getting married to their cousins, but I fuck with HP Lovecraft and HG Wells

      The only book I’ve read from an “influencer” is How to Win at Chess by Levy Rozman (@GothamChess), and mostly because it was one of two books on chess at my local library. He runs a chess training website (chessly), so he actually has some creds there.

      I also bought The Civilian Rights Handbook by John Lang (@AuditTheAudit) because I wanted to support him thought the book might be genuinely interesting to read and loan.

      Other than that, I mostly read from regular authors, either past or present.
