What follows is an incomplete list of my favorite books:

William Manchester writes about his hellish WW2 experience in the Pacific. Very poetic; very gripping. Buy this one.

Do you know who Stanley was? This book will blow you away. A true story about a man who grabbed life by the balls.

The definition of Gonzo journalism. It’s too bad he’s gone. I would have liked to have met him. He’s an inspiration.
————————————————-

Arguably the best novel ever written.

Hesse’s masterpiece about the meaning of life. You will read this in one sitting.

Fantastic read making you think about the presence and motives of evil forces in the world.

Poetic book written by one of my heroes.
