Listening to action trash when walking my dog.

Been a long time since I listened to something that is fiction, instead of economics/history/self improvement.

Never

Books, whats that?

My excuse for not reading books is that I read too many text books for my job schooling. Plus my eyes are kinda shitty.

Audio books are a good alternative. The Obstacle Is the Way was a good one.

Today I started The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan. Just finished The Friday Afternoon Club by Griffin Dunne. And always reading my mags:
The Economist, The New Yorker, Harper’s, The Atlantic, New York Review of Books and the London Review of Books.

Just finished Ubik by Phillip K Dick, started re-reading Necromancer by William Gibson again.

Also reading "The Fund" by Rob Copeland.

Ryan Holiday is a great story teller. He makes history and philosophy very interesting.

Can you suggest another good one from him, one that you have read/heard?

Discipline is Destiny, Courage is Calling, Stillness is the Key, are all really good and they're mostly based on stoicism (like The Obstacle is the Way). Similar theme, with different angles and stories that he uses as examples.

But he also has another book that I really like called Perennial Seller, which is different. He goes into his background in the corporate world (he was director of marketing for a clothing company called American Apparel) and he talks a lot about what it takes to make things of high quality and why some brands/books/movies etc. persevere over time when most things are quickly discarded/forgotten. That's a great book too.

Earlier this year I was treading through a river of sewage (metaphorically) and The Obstacle helped me keep my head above water.

Not yet. I’ve picked up reading again recently, but I have to say I’m definitely going to read more of Stephen King. If you suggest the dark towers series I’ll put it on my list .
