I found the Goodreads reviews of Feyerabend's "Against Method" - one of the most important books in my life - very interesting & diverse:

The Dirac book, BTW: https://t.co/wbwujq4JaM Great book! I learned a lot about GR from it (particularly in concert with Isham's book on differential geometry, & @seanmcarroll's wonderful short notes, which I carried around with me for months: https://t.co/agSq4gKA1c ).

Canticle would have to go on my list, too. Amazing book! Thanks for the list, wonderful!

Many of these are, of course, more law-adjacent than law, per se. Ostrom really changed how I think about law in general, however, despite not exactly being about the law. Also, one of my favourite books ever :-)

Reading Schumpeter's famous book about "Creative Destruction". It's an enjoyable read, and I'm learning a lot! One unexpected & enjoyable thing about the book is how loudly he praises Marx, & builds upon him (while ultimately taking a v different path)

"Chaos" is a wonderful book. I like Gleick's "Genius" even better (a bio of Richard Feynman), one of my two favourite bios.

I suppose this is why I enjoy things like Bloom's "The Western Canon", or the Great Books list, or the Sci-Fi Masters series. But all are a very imperfect match for my sensibility. Ostrom & JJ are nowhere in sight, for instance...

A physicist and an economist walk into a bar... Of course, this would never happen to me! Or you! 😀 From one of my favourite, and most often bought, books, Dietrich Doerner's "The Logic of Failure".

Absolutely amazing book!!! I regret not reading it years sooner. (I didn’t read it all.)

Great typo. (And great book!)
