- andreygrehov 9y agoHere is the same submission from the previous year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11803165 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11803165 Alan left a lot of comments there.
- inetsee 9y agoSome of the links appear to be broken; i.e. they take you to books different than the titles listed. Clicking on "The Psychology of Art by Lev Vygotsky" takes you to the Amazon page for "Economics: analysis, issues, and policies by Louis Dow". I'm sure Louis's book is fascinating, but not what I was looking for.
