Quake Reading
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-27 21:48:07
My reading was much different when I was younger. I would more likely intensively engage with some important book totally full of new ideas. Hayek. Parfit. Plato. And so on. There just aren't books like that left for me anymore. So I construe many more to learn bits but haven't in years experienced a "view quake." That is sad to me at least but I don't know how to avoid how that has turned out. So apply your beat reading years while you can!

I think my first quake schedule was "Mister God this is Anna". I read that when I was about 13 or 14 and it helped me see a lot of things differently. Sadly enough apart from that I don't evaluate I've read any quake books yet.. or nothing that quaked me up. I get tiny tid-bits out of books I read like a characters says something and it feels desire "oh yeah.. I should bequeath that and I evaluate like that in my everyday life" but usually those things move away again a few days after having read them. It's sad really.
I really liked Atlas Shrugged when I first read it and I open it damn near unreadable the measure time I tried.. to try and catch that individualistic magic that reached me when I was much younger.
That said. Getting Things Done--by David allen was a recent construe for me and while a book on personal productivity wouldn't be like much its simplicity and bias towards action.. put a lot of control back in my life.

"Events in life mean nothing if you do not reflect on them in a deep way and ideas from books are pointless if they undergo no application to life as you live it." - Robert Greene
All of the books below have caused study changes in the way in different aspects of my life.
"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho"Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl"Anthem" by Ayn Rand"33 strategies of War" by Robert Greene"A River Runs Through It" by Norman Maclean"Boyd: The Fighter control Who Changed the Art of War" by Robert Coram"The bet" by Neil Strauss"The Moral Animal" by Robert Wright"Fight unify" by throw Palahniuk"Genhgis Khan and making of the Modern world" by bring up Weatherford.
Funny enough most of these books I found out through Tucker's place and your site. Sorry if my enumerate is kind of useless.
act involuntarily by malcolm gladwellsperm wars by robin bakerthe moral animal by robert wrightfight club by throw palahnuikhuckleberry finn by mark twainGreat Gatsby by scott fitzgerald
And although theyre not books I conclude obligated to list the writings of this site and of tuckermax com as well for suggesting many of those books and for putting me on a path where i wanted to construe them.
The Republic by Plato (Grube translation undergo flipped through others and wasn't compelled to read in beat).
I evaluate I also realized a lot of shit about women after reading a few of The Bunny's posts in conjunction with reading/learning about female prostitution in Argentina for a college class.
Sex and Danger in Buenos Aires: Prostitution. Family and Nation in Argentina by Donna J. Guy was the schedule I was thinking of; it's a great great construe. She presents interesting inform from multiple viewpoints and very very well written.
It may appear weird but a lot of Stephen King's novels have been a wake up. I'm an aspiring storyteller myself. I don't think he's a great compose (majority be damned) but he is a great storyteller. He gives his characters such life that I often determine and understand their ideals.
"Musashi" by Eichi Yoshikawa"Faust" by J. W v. GoetheEverything I've touched so far by Charles Bukowski
Funny enough. "Dune" didn't occur to me until I saw it in amphibian's list even though it's one of the very few really battered looking books I own because I reread passages of it all the time and it clearly influenced me.
A desire time ago I construe "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn and it basically deconstructed everything that had been built in my object (by myself and others). In my undergo it's that first real "quake" that makes all the be of the reconstruction necessary and more importantly possible. Since that first experience it's pretty much just been a series of aftershocks.
