Okay, here we go. - Poor Charlie's Almanack fucks. Probably more wisdom per page than any other book. - The Evolution of Useful Things is a good book for inventors and is mildly interesting generally - Essentialism is a single concept book but you need to know it.

All the chess books are good...for learning chess. The rest are a combination of - meh - haven't read yet - this book sucks - and books from my wife that need to get off my fucking bookshelf.

What should I add to my bookshelf next? I'm an obsessive compulsive learner and am pretty determined to be wise and, ideally, in a way that is innovative.

Apparently there is 10 books in Republic so it isnt short. I dont remember if we had to read just a few of them or if I read them all...

Replying to @bjonathan @Molson_Hart
I’d recommend Books I, II (on justice), III, IV (on education and creating a good city through good people), VI (philosopher king), VII (allegory of the cave). I didn’t like V (sharing wives and children) or VIII through X (pros and cons of forms of government) as much
