What are your favorite books? Which ones would you recommend to others? Danke.
I have a list of bitcoin-related books that I update from time to time.
Outside of Bitcoin, I think my first "favorite" book was Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman. It's very hard to pick favorites. I've read hundreds of books and liked most of them, since I try to be picky in what I read. I read mostly non-fiction.
The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman is close to my heart. As is GEB by Hofstadter. I have fond memories of Ender's Game and Flowers for Algernon. Many books changed my few on things profoundly. Pirsig's work, for example. And Peterson of course.

Oh, and in terms of recommendations: I would recommend to fall in love with reading.

Sweet! I had the same first favorite book - Feynman was so inspiring, wholesome and eye opening. I'll check the other ones too and I'll update my to-read list :)
