Books which led to books;

When reading “The Monk who sold his Ferrari” , the protagonist Julian (the monk), lists the following books, which I’ve decided to add to the books I’d like to read in this lifetime:

• The Biography of Benjamin Franklin
• Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography : The Story of My Experiments with Truth
• Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
• Practical Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius
• Works of Seneca
• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

This has led me to best find ever: link: https://archive.org

So I managed to download copies of some of these books due to the above list, and wow – I really love Benjamin Franklin’s biography; called; The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin , by Benjamin Franklin. It shows such clean and simple living, pursuit of ideas to fruition, the impact of bad company and good.

Quite a favourite book of mine, now.

Shows which led to books

1. Ted Lasso – the show – at some point made mention of the following books:

• Prince of Tides
• A Wrinkle in Time
• #incomplete list

So I then read the book, books rather, actually;

• Prince of Tides – horror of horrors . Seriously. Reads like its someone’s life.
• A Wrinkle In Time – kinda bored me, might have to give it another try sometime….

2. Tulsa King –

“Othello by Shakespeare, Middlemarch by Mary Anne Evans, Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzche, Faust by Goethe, and The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene.”
