What is there to say about Ted Chiang that hasn't been said already? Fantastic book — highly recommend reading Gwern's discussion of the different stories

Hoffman wrote an interesting book on coffee for beginners and enthusiasts alike. If you read this along Jonathan Gagné's writings, you can get a pretty good understanding of coffee brewing. Hoffman's videos, of course, would also be massively helpful

I found this book insightful. Soros is clearly a very deep thinker (although perhaps not the philosopher he wanted / aspired to be). I think the world would benefit if we had more content like this

Siddhartha Mukherjee has a phenomenal way of writing about medicine / biology. This was truly a fantastic read

This book probably is very powerful for somehow who grew in Appalachia or nearby. I personally did not take away very much from this. It's interesting thinking back to this book in 2024 knowing where JD Vance would end up...
