Island

Aldous Huxley · ★★★★★ · 354 pages · 1962

The Prince

Niccolò Machiavelli · ★★★★☆ · 144 pages · 1513

Great book on how to lead. But at the same time very much a product of its time. Some of the people he references are hard to follow without knowing the history behind them.

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

David Allen · ★★★★☆ · 267 pages · 2001

At the core the book could have been summarized into 10 pages. But I guess the author was really try to push the idea of discipline as being an important part of the process, but still didn't need that many pages.

The Anti-Christ

Friedrich Nietzsche · ★★★★☆ · 126 pages · 1888

I feel that Nietzsche gives credit to Jesus Christ stating him as being the Last Christian. It's is the people after Jesus, especially Paul, that Nietzsche essentially condemns for creating a religion of false truths.

Nature

Ralph Waldo Emerson · ★★★★★ · 160 pages · 1836

Sadhana

Rabindranath Tagore · ★★★★★ · 136 pages · 1913
