You're one up on me, I've never read or even heard of any of them. :D

Get that first one. I read something else by Stapledon, Odd John, because it has telepathy. Then figured I’d try this. Turns out Loredoctor loves it, too.

But yeah, what are the odds we never heard of all those classics??

If few people recognize the author/title, is it really a classic?

Something Interesting from my To Read list - Taleb's Fooled by Randomness

Something that might be educational - Wheelan's Naked Economics

Lots of SF stories with a little depth - Orson Scott Card's Ender series
(skip the movie)

For us 1980's nerds - Ready Player One
(again, skip the movie)
