Five Books: The Man Who Was Thursday, the Greatest German Drama Ever Composed, the Significance of True Education, and More!

Thousands of people trust me to bring them the absolute best book recommendations I can each week, but there’s only so much that I can fit into one email without overwhelming people!

So, what I’ve been doing is publishing the “long” version of those emails here, and sending the short version to my email subscribers, same as always.

If you’d like to sign up for my email reading list but haven’t yet, you can do so here, and I have even more book reviews, recommendations, and reading tips on my YouTube channel. I also treat my email subscribers VERY well, so I send them valuable extras that you can only get if you’re subscribed. (Join here!)

Today we’re taking a look at:

1 — The Man Who Was Thursday, by G.K. Chesterton

2 — Education and the Significance of Life, by Jiddu Krishnamurti

3 — Faust, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

4 — Lost in the Cosmos, by Walker Percy

5 — The Unbearable Lightness of Being, by Milan Kundera

A short summary of each book is below, along with some of the best notes that I’ve personally taken from them.
