Some interesting suggestions here. I feel like we're all (as in, this corner of twitter) in a bit of a local minimum/rut of reading the same things. Needs a somewhat random re-seed, but not entirely idiosyncratic personal picks.

Like if you had to swap out some sophomore portal basics from the last 10 years, what would they be?

“Sophomore portal” books: You’re likely to read them 17-21, with median at ~19
— Ayn Rand
— GEB
— HHG
— Alchemist
— Pirsig
They seem optimized to have a profound effect in that range, be inaccessible if you’re younger (unless you’re precocious) and underwhelming if you’re older

Sophmores would be better off if they read different sophomore books
Everybody would benefit from an age-appropriate equilibrium shift
