Love this edition! Really resonated with your words regarding the age of books. I realized a while back that much of the best wisdom I want to read comes from older books. That Goodreads list looks great! Would be a solid way to intentionally explore older books. Any favorites that have come out of them for you?

Thank you so much Salman, it means a lot that you took the time to read and even more that it resonated! I've only read a very tiny fragment of the books on this list. However, I do have a bias for the Enlightenment period and can warmly recommend Voltaire's Candide or Zadig. I think you would love his narrative style.

Oh I absolutely LOVED Candide!! Sounds like I should check out Zadig as well
