Request to Borrow

by William Johnston

1971 | first published 1970

A very dense but very comforting read. First read this as a library book when I was in highschool, and it's stuck in the back of my head ever since. I think this book and 'Reinventing the Sacred' will form the basis of how I face my own mortality.

Request to Borrow

by Derrick C. Brown

2011

I really enjoy Mr. Brown's new flavor of something like romanticism, or just post-modern hope. His humor and genuine exhuberance is palpable.

Request to Borrow

by Immanuel Kant

2003 | first published 1795

Well-written. I would not like Kant if I met him today, but there are some drops of wisdom to glean from the brightest bigots of the past.

Request to Borrow

by Le Corbusier

1986 | first published 1923

Le Corbusier gets too much credit for his good ideas and too little criticism for his bad ones so the only backhanded praise I'll give this book is that is important to read if you want to know more about our current state of affairs.

Request to Borrow

by Joi Ito and Jeff Howe

2016

Honestly pretty bland on its predictions, and I'm a little spiteful because I read this wanting to attend the Media Lab, then learned that Joi had a working relationship with Jeff Epstein to get donations, so it's pretty hard to take any sort of idealistic advice from him.
