So many gems I'd like to read, thanks for the recs. Already halfway through La Amistad that you gave me (lots to comment), and finished Outlive a few weeks back, we can be accountability partners to implement it ;)

Lots of great recommendations in here Steven! I'm most excited to read Cicero's How to Be a Friend but I added at least 5 more to my Amazon cart for later. Great curation, thanks for sharing!

Philip Freeman’s translation is perhaps my favorite. The whole ancient lives and wisdom series is so good!

I can't wait to dive into this more deeply. The Wright Brothers' story captivated me as a kid. It was what made me believe anything is possible. Will be bookmarking this

If you have yet to read McCullough's biography of those boys then you're in for a real treat!

Ben Hur if you like Fiction. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis if you’re more interested in non-fiction.

That one has been deep on the list to read. Perhaps it's time is coming for me.
