Reading one of the most fascinating writers of the 20th century will inevitably lead you to these 4 books

Read my full breakdown of this amazing book here

The Nobel Prize-winning philosopher Albert Camus called her “the only great spirit of our time,” and popes and presidents and philosophers the world over have said pretty much the same thing.

She’s one of the most fascinating, thought-provoking writers of the 20th century, and the story of her death is as heartbreaking as it is senseless.

I’ve read 4 books by her or about her, and my latest book breakdown features Love in the Void, her book about beauty, how becoming poor is the easiest way to become invisible, about the true function of education, and much more besides.

It’s a spectacular book, and you can get all the key ideas and takeaways right here for free, but I want to bring 4 other books to your attention today that you might like once you’re finished with that one.

Let’s get right into them!
