Read on Hacker NewsSome on this list are great, some just good: _The Critique of Pure Reason_--got about halfway through 30 years ago, set it aside, picked it up again. Probably shorter than <i>The Fountainhead</i> but takes a long time to read. _The Vindication of Tradition_, Jaroslav Pelikan, theology, very short quick read. _Netherland_ by Joseph O'Neill, via the neighborhood book club. Interesting picture of New York, thin characterization. _The Library at Night_, Alberto Manguel, actually a gift to my wife from a friend of hers. Good browsing book. _Untimely Thoughts_ by Nietzche. Probably not a great place to start Nietzche, but at least the first essay is interesting. _The Spectator Bird_, Wallace Stegner. Good novel, though maybe not my favorite Stegner. _Germany 1866-1945_ by Gordon Craig. Long, very readable.
