#32Just started re-reading the Baroque cycle and plan to follow with Cryptonomicon. Re-reading really reveals a lot that was a bit of a mystery the first time.

#33Nassim Taleb's Antifragile. First read it when it came out in 2012, and I was still unmarried and unemployed. Interesting to re-read it now that I'm married and have been working for 4+ years.

I've read a few of Taleb's other books. He seems to have a few brilliant points with lots of supporting materials and rants. Can you summarize the new insights you got after being married/employed?

#37Neil Strauss' Emergency and Peter Heller's The Dog Stars.
I read the piece in the New Yorker about rich tech guys and their bug out plans for the apocalypse (including Reddit's Alex Ohanian).
I love Strauss' journey from survivalist to community volunteer. It changed the way I think about preparedness.
Heller's book is one of only a few that I find myself thinking about all the time. I'm a sucker for any book with a dog in it though, so that might color my opinion.

#38The Fountainhead. Makes me a better person Everytime.
Agreed. In fact, I think it's about time I should start a re-read of The Fountainhead myself. It's been a few years since I've read it.

I noticed the same thing.
The second time through I was much better able to keep the characters straight.
