Idem. The list was obviously written by an American, but there are some interesting choices and it gave me a few more books to add to my to-read pile.

Lol yeah I kind of felt the same. Also, I feel like a lot of the list is bogus, but there are definitely some awesome reads in there. Plutarch, Malcolm X, and Marcus Aurelias are all pretty epic ones.

If you like Marcus Aurelius, you should check out some of the other Stoics, like Seneca and Epictetus. They're all worth reading.

I do like Seneca as well(the whole thing with his death is pretty terrible, lol) I'll definitely look into Epictetus if he's on a similar plane.
