Great question! Impro, The Lessons of History, The Tao of Philosophy, and Class by Fussell It’s not that they’re my very favorite books (although they’re all up there), but also that they’re mercifully short, so as not to be a burden on people.

That’s a great way to think about recs. Similarly, I find Albion’s Seed fascinating but it’s not really meant to be read cover to cover. The solution: the SSC blog post or The Nine American Nations.
