Hey Throwaway, sorry, I´m not sure if I get your comment right... Do you mean there´s nothing there relevant for you as a founder? Thanks anyway for commenting

I think what parent is trying to say is that as a founder themselves, they didn't read start-up focused books. They read other books not related to start-ups. What that other books are, I don't know.

I meant that as a founder I can't stomach reading startup and "startup life" content. There are more valuable lessons about building and operating a business in reading Mark Twain than there are in reading Marc Andreessen. So, when I read, I read entirely non-startup stuff.

  Here here! My recent good reads (5y or so) are Permutation City, Accelerando, and just now re-reading Dune.

    Hey Lostmsu! Those sound like great recommendations! Gonna try to find them. Haven´t read Dune but it seems worth it. Thanks for sharing them bro!

  Now I get it Throw! My wrong. Yep, totally aligned with your point here. I guess what I tried to convey as value proposition is more "what you should read in order to become a founder". For the time being, I have to rely on Twitter/X to get what founders share but yeah, it´s totally different to what one should read to become a whole human being/founder. Hopefully coming versions will add what founders are reading OUTSIDE the startup bubble. Personally I read history and philosophy/psichology. Thanks for your insight, really appreciate it!
