Nice work
How do you decide your TBR ?
Wtf I can't finish a book in 6 month. How do you do that?
Are you reading or listening to these
Great job. If you read the bible, it has 66 books (more if you read the catholic one) 🤣, the book of Titus is like 1 page 😇
I was gonna say… reading some of these in 1 week would be nuts 😅
I can manage about a book per month, but that's actually reading it
It's practice. I read at least three a week, most of them are fiction. Non fiction takes a little bit more.
Hi Jack, is this a specific app that tracks the books like this or custom put together showing which books you have read! I am reading two books a month and think this is a. Great idea!
Awesome 👏
Are you actually reading them or just listening to them?
Just read this again. Now I feel like going on an adventure... 
👀
Respekt 💎💎💎💎
strong, how do you chose? have you ever thought of adding a Brandon Sanderson?
can't find ascent audio
Do you listen to audiobooks?
Well done Jack! Which one did you like the most? 💜🧡
Started the same thing few months ago - used to read lots and past few years online reading perhaps reduced my ability to focus. What app do you recommend to track your reading?
Last 3 reads -
The Bitcoin age (really enjoyed, it’s very different than layered money and revisits Bitcoin from first principles its cypherpunk origins)
The internet of money (Bitcoin classic for some reason I had not read- mostly aged superbly with some early and incredibly spot on predictions)
Nexus (some really interesting ideas there about stories, information networks and how AI might become a central part of that
Book reading clubs could be an interesting thing to build on Nostr. Just like playlists, reading lists would be great for users to own and use in different apps.
Wow. Good list. It’s all non-fiction. Ironically, same for me but for different reasons. That still says a lot. I remember you sharing fictional books like Ishmael & Snowfall all the time. Having said that, challenge accepted!! I will fill that *fiction* void. And, my book will find you on its own somehow.☀️🌬️📚✨💋🦁🫂❤️🔥
You should take lessons playing an instrument 🎶
If you have other obligations and limited time a book per week goal creates a selection standard for shorter books over higher quality books.
Rationality from AI to Zombies is a 50 hour audiobook. I'm half way through it and I really wish I hadn't put it off so long.
I used to do book count based goals. For that reason I abandoned that and decided to focus on monsters I had been putting off.
Are You the King of divan,...?
Great!
My book queue is about 3 feet tall right now 😬
Currently reading Surviving the Economic Collapse (based on first hand experience from an Argentinian)
1 book a week?!? Nice! I am probably a book every 2-3 weeks. Should at least give this a shot.
i will have time for some to span 2-3 weeks with shorter ones to make up for it
Keep sharing 🫡
proof of wisdom
Share the most important thing you learn from each! 📚
Vous avez un joli hobby, car la lecture permet aussi de réduir le stress et procurer du bien être . ☺️
I also like listening. But I feel reading is still a higher level of concentration for me.
We need goodreads built on nostr.
Can someone vibe dis into existence?

Power verses force
Aren't these those little books you used to get in the shitter or holiday home bedside table in the 90s?
What book tracking app is it?
oh yeah, longer beard would look greater
🫂
My goal was a Book a month. But im already One Book down due to Fiat Stress…..
solid Jack, Solid
That’s the lady killer list my friend. Lol
When my gf asks me what I’m reading, I now just tell her “incredibly boring shit” to avoid the eyes glazed over polite smile she used to give me.
And she’s good with it and life is good 😊
First time reading 48 laws of power?
Or just felt the need to revisit it?
How do you choose??
Choose quality
I see you read Alex Karp’s new book about The West. I kept thinking about Jason Lowery’s power projection bitcoin thesis while reading it. Do you think bitcoin has a role there for nation state defense?
Which one was your favorite so far ?
在唐朝时期。有个中国诗人说：“一日不书，百事荒芜。”😝
Start with ten pages per day.
天底下人的老师是古代中国人-孔子。公元前551年9月28日出生在春秋战国期间。距离当今也两千多年历史了。孔子到处游学开展教育活动。收徒弟门生教书，门第下有3000个学生，都当时最厉害的精英人物。所以孔子才是全世界最优秀的老师“鼻祖”。😝
孔子在春秋战国时期，写一本书，留下的一本书叫《论语》。孔子对后世影响深远长久。他的“仁”与“礼”成为国家施政和个人自我修养的重要准则；“有教无类”的平民教育思想使华夏文明得以无限传承；对古代文献的系统整理，留下给当今人学习，不仅寄予了自己的理想，更使得中华民族的文化遗产具有了深广的内涵。
天底下人的老师，就是孔子。
孔子学说。德不孤，必有邻。
这句话出自《论语·里仁》，强调有道德的人不会孤单，因为必定有志同道合的人相伴。它鼓励人们坚守道德，与优秀的人为伍。
孔子学说：“人无远虑，必有近忧。”
出自《论语·卫灵公》，提醒人们要有长远的眼光和深谋远虑，否则眼前的忧患将不可避免。
孔子学说。“三人行，必有我师焉。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。”
出自《论语·述而》，教导人们要善于向他人学习，取长补短，不断完善自我。
2500年前的孔子教育学生的思想。
孔子学说对财富理念：“不义而富且贵，于我如浮云。”哈哈哈😹
出自《论语·述而》，表明孔子对不正当手段获得的财富和地位的轻视，强调道德高于物质。
孔子学说：“己所不欲，勿施于人。”
出自《论语·颜渊》，是儒家“恕道”的核心，提倡换位思考，尊重他人。
孔子学说：“成事不说，遂事不谏，既往不咎。”
出自《论语·八佾》，教导人们要放下过去，专注于当下和未来，体现了一种豁达的人生态度。
孔子学说也谈到社会公平公正的理念：“不患寡而患不均，不患贫而患不安。”
出自《论语·季氏》，强调公平与和谐的重要性，认为社会的不平等和不安定是更大的问题。
孔子学说也谈到社会真理和个人命运关系：“朝闻道，夕死可矣。”
出自《论语·里仁》，表达了对真理和道德的执着追求，认为明白真理后，即使死亡也无憾。
孔子学说，也强一个人诚信的重要性。“知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。”
出自《论语·为政》，强调诚实面对自己的无知，才是真正的智慧。
孔子学说，也强调一个人修身养性，为人处世之道。“过而不改，是谓过矣。”
出自《论语·卫灵公》，指出犯错后不改正是更大的错误，鼓励人们勇于改正自己的过失。
以上是我读大学的时候。学过中国古代文学课程曾经研读过的孔子书说。分享，讲解。我觉得孔子在2500年前竟然有以此博学多才的人，他留下学说对当今的人也有帮助。
Read 'Spot the Dog' a deep, philosophical work. Spot’s search for hidden objects can be seen as an exploration of how meaning is constructed and communicated. Highly recommended.
I loved The Lessons of History. it was an insightful distillation of societies that broke things down into fundamental ideas.
Good luck with the reading goal!
I wish I had the time and non-ADHD attention span to do this. If it weren't for audiobooks while working I've never get anything read.
Best of luck with your goal.
catching up to you, @jack! 9 books and counting this year:
What’s the 4th one?
Gotta pump up those numbers. You could listen to a book and hour on 17x speed
is this Apple Books?
Food for the mind, some could be poisonous.
the biggest one sets the size if the grid 🤔
How about poetry? 💥
How do you read? On a screen or do you prefer physical books?
Nothing like having personal reading goals. After I’ve sorted out importing reading lists from Goodreads, will move on to creating challenges events. One of my the main reasons I am building the Open Librarian client is to set personal goals and track my reading progress.
GitHub
GitHub - RydalWater/OpenLibrarian: Open Librarian is a website for tracking and sharing a love of books. It utilizes the Nostr protocol so that users can bring their friends and social connections with them, and take them elsewhere if they'd like to.

Spontaneous Order looks pretty interesting
What is the title from the History book? (not the history of money).
obligatory reminder that for some people reading is more about quality than quantity. 😝 Like … someone could spend a month thinking about one page in one book … or read one book and then think about it over the next few months … seeing charts like this gives me stress
Wow 👀
I'm Paying 10 Bands to the first 5 to hit me up now with "PAY DAY" cus I feel people still going through HARD TIMES,STAY BLESSED Y’ALL🇺🇸
This book Banned by US Gov which is why I read it. 
Genuinely curious here. Wanted to ask yesterday, but a bit shy. Have you found a difference in how you process the information with reading vs listening?
Awesome! 🤩
An incident has emerged where AI agents are being used to create an unlimited number of copy accounts from a friend’s account, tricking users into clicking scam links.
Currently, platforms prioritize engagement and ad revenue, so as long as posts are being viewed, they benefit. Since AI can generate content at a much higher rate than humans, AI-generated posts are likely to outnumber human-generated ones, eventually leading to algorithms being manipulated on a large scale.
It may not be long before we see the emergence of iris recognition-based authentication or human-only social media platforms.
What do you think?
Be careful what you read it can influence your thinking in good and bad.
Good list! May I recommend Sahil Blooms book? I just finished and really filled with insightful and principled content.
Like what?
Not a fan of fiction?
Amazing
Yes . 👏
Amazing 😍
I wanted to introduce books which I've read because they accused me to rob their contents. Actually some people wrote same things. So I don't know what's the robbed contents.
I recommend reading Breath by James Nestor 📖
