Book Reviews – Master Thread
One of the main reasons that I joined Coil, apart form the XRP hype, was to finally write reviews for every new book that I read. At a rate of 30+ books per year it is not as easy to keep up with that goal, but I will give it a try.
Hopefully you will find something to your liking in the lists below:
2019 Reviews by chronological order:
1.– Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio
2.– Letters from a Stoic by Seneca
3.– The Fires of War by Steven Sands (available for free for Coil Subscribers)
4.– We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
5.– Everything is F*cked by Mark Manson
6.– How to be a Friend by Cicero
7.– Gulag Archipelago: Abridged by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
8.– The Devil's Financial Dictionary by Jason Zweig
9.– Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday
10.– The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday
11.– In a Glass Darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu
2020 Reviews by chronological order:
1.– Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut
2.– Screwtape Proposes a Toast by C. S. Lewis
3.– The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
4.– Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell
