Cicero's Orations are amazing. Especially On Friendship and On Old Age.
Guys! Help me out by throwing in a few titles for a How to Human 101 booklist?

I suspect you're somewhat conflating cause and effect - curious people fine interesting books, giving most people books won't make them interesting (but might help some). But ok - from Buffetverse: Snowball, all the Peter Bevelin stuff, Poor Charlie's Almanach.

I suspect that any person who would *actually* read one book per week for several years meets whatever the minimum requirements are to benefit substantially from doing so

How to Win Friends and Influence people is the best How to Human guide I've ever read. Biographies / collected stories can also be instructive. Here are two favorites: - Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman - Feyman - The Wright Brothers - McCullough
-
For the burgeoning reader I'd also like to repeat some great advice I received: read outside your comfort zone. If you mostly read fiction, read non-fiction. White authors? Black authors. Men? Women. Prose? Poetry. Western literature? Eastern literature.
