  1. The Dark Forest by enigma32 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Dark Forest.
    I love the Cixin Liu books... refreshing sci-fi.

  2. The Stoics by oakgrove · · Score: 3, Informative

    Definitely The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Enchiridion by Epictetus, and various writings by Seneca the Younger. Anybody in the quest for philosophical insight would be well served by giving the Stoics a shot. Kind of a western analytical version of Zen Buddhism.

    The soylentnews experiment has been a dismal failure.
  3. They never learn by Bengie · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Mythical Man Month. Most people follow the antithesis of this book.

  4. 11/22/63 by Lisandro · · Score: 4, Informative

    Light read, yes, but a surprisingly engaging novel.
