I’m going to read The Great Gastby!

This is among the regular threads I enjoy most. The last book I read was Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot.
If you've never read anything by Dostoevsky, it's a great place to start. It's also a novel that would suit anyone interested in staying humble during a bull market, which was part of my reason for picking it up again after a few decades. If you've read perhaps his most famous work, The Brothers Karamazov, the protagonist resembles Alyosha more than any of his other characters.
The Idiot, Prince Myshkin, is the last of his aristocratic line, penniless when we meet him on his way back from an unsuccessful attempt to cure his epilepsy in Switzerland. He's naive and childish in the most charming way possible. He describes himself as an invalid unsuited to marriage, but has soon proposed to two women: one an angel and the other a demon, each unforgettable in her own way.
I was lucky to find an old Dent hardback from around a century ago, and this time I read it very slowly over the course of a month, every page a pleasure.

Have you learned and applied anything from the book? When I was younger I gave the books like this one a try, in the end, I learned most from the letters of Warren Buffett to shareholders :)
reply
It's interesting how the "letters to shareholders" genre has exploded. Some really good ones out there -- gives smart rich people a platform to pontificate, I guess.
reply
I was very much influenced by "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior," "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy," and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
Also "The Masks of God."
reply
Yeah there are good approaches around taking smart risk based approaches

On a side note, TheWildHustle was hanging out at bitcoin park, and a freak gave him this link. https://t.me/BitcoinRepo
It’s a repo with over 400 free books, updated pretty frequently.
And if you haven’t read Come and Take it, by Cody Wilson……..you probably should.

The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm
I'm finishing this book and it's a great one. I recommend it to those who haven't read it.
Some of his ideas of learning the art of loving could be applied to mastering Bitcoin.

Sometimes big problems are solved in a simple way or with a simple method... I will never stop recommending this book, personally it changed my life to read it for the first time... "The Richest Man in Babylon"
