"Apology" and "The Symposium" by Plato: Delve into the profound philosophical thoughts of Plato. "Apology" reflects on the life of Socrates, while "The Symposium" explores love, desire, and human connection. These timeless works of philosophy are a must read along with the other Plato books

"Harry Potter" Series by J.K. Rowling: No list of favorite books would be complete without the magical world of Harry Potter. Rowling's storytelling prowess and her ability to create a universe filled with wonder, friendship, and moral lessons make this series an enduring favorite.

"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu: Dive into the world of strategy and warfare with this ancient Chinese text. While primarily focused on military tactics, Sun Tzu's timeless wisdom transcends the battlefield. Its principles can be applied to various aspects of life, including leadership, decision-making, and negotiation.

"The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli: A controversial but undeniably influential work, "The Prince" delves into the nature of power and leadership. Machiavelli's unapologetic exploration of political cunning and pragmatism continues to spark debates and offers valuable insights into the complexities of governance.

I'm considering recording a reading of the Republic and then perhaps Nichomachean Ethics. Good books all around in the list though.
