    free to choose (friedman), guns germs and steel (diamond), fooled by randomness (taleb). essential contemporary fiction: the road or blood meridian (mccarthy). everybody should read the widely read religious texts that have been circulating for millenia.

      On the last point, as Sussmann says: "Bible, Talmud, Koran Read them whether or not you believe them! Be sure to read between the lines, and you can discover what people were actually thinking back then. Very interesting documents! Bava Metzia 59b is an interesting story!" http://aurellem.org/thoughts/html/sussman-reading-list.html http://aurellem.org/thoughts/html/sussman-reading-list.html
