Also love "Unbearable Lightness of Being" (not the movie obviously), by milan kundera. Really shows you how we all view the world through a different prism, in particular the chapter "A Short Dictionary of Misunderstood Words". But all the chapters are good Smiley

Also, +1 for Dracula. Still is the best vampire story written.

Then you can't've read Twilight  Grin, I prefer Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, but I've only read the first three. I'd like to read the full set at some point in the future, but so much to read and so little time Sad.

Not sure many bitcoiners spend much time reading Wink my favorite all time book is "The Castle" by Kafka. All about confusion and paranoia and authority, he was well ahead of his time.

That's quite a shame! I had naïvely assumed bitcoiners where enlightened libertarians who read as much as a man of the Renaissance Tongue
Thanks for your suggestion, I had greatly enjoyed Metamorphosis by Kafka and will look into that one.

I thought a thread like this was lacking here Smiley

If anybody's interested, I'd recommend Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It's a great work of fiction litterature spaning many genres, and it deals with economic and political themes that might appeal to my fellow bitcoiners.

What are yours?



I am reading Bram Stoker's Dracula. I like how the book is written like a journal and letters.

Didn't like it much. Found it tedious, but I'm not a fan of epistolary novels.
