Ask HN: Books Worth Rereading Periodically?
I read "the intelligent investor" once a year or so to reinforce the value mindset. Are there any other books like that worth reading periodically? Deschooling Society - Ivan Illich
One-Dimensional Man - Herbert Marcuse
Tools for Conviviality - Ivan Illich
On Liberty - J. S. Mill
The Annals - Tacitus
The Histories - Tacitus Business & work : Deep Work - Cal Newport, Anti fragile - Nassim Taleb
CNV : Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life. Marshall Rosenberg
"spiritual" or wisdom related : Tao Te King, Marcus Aurelius, the Gospel, Meditation on the Tarot
classics : Plato, Homer, and Peloponese's war by Thucydides.
And I couldn't explain why but I re-read Into thin air by Krakauer every year. I also re-read Into Thin Air every so often. No idea why either. Given my username: Meditations of Marcus Aurelius The Enchiridion Be sure to get modern translations of both. Reading these is not an academic exercise, it is a practical exercise. Which Modern editions would you suggest? Gregory Hays’s “Meditations: A New Translation” “Epictetus: Discourses and Selected Writings” from penguin classics Thanks for the suggestion. Just ordered along with Psycho Cybernetics which also gets a lot of recommendations - Never Split The Difference - 365 Tao: Daily Meditations - How to win friends and influence people Peopleware, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Difficult Conversations, On Writing Well The subtle art of not giving a fuck, Mark Manson Hermann Hesse - Siddhartha
