100 books you need to read before you die
A few weeks ago, “SeekLifeMastery” posted a fantastic thread on Twitter with the “100 books you need to read before you die“. As I went through it, I found that it was indeed an excellent list, and one that I need to work on quite a bit as I’ve only read about 25 of the books so far.
As a bonus, since most are business books, the vast majority of them can be found on Blinkist. While I’ll certainly read the full copies of many of them, I suspect I’ll “blink” quite a few as well.
The list is a little hard to follow on Twitter, so I’ll lay it all out here in a clean list.
How many have you read so far?

Dang. I didn't count exactly how many, but I feel like I've read about 35 of them. Interested that there aren't more of Seth's books, but then, they're ALL so good. You've mentioned Blink before. I think I'll give it a look again. THANKS for a great list!
