> Guns germs and steel
honestly fine book, probably not really the whole story but a decent thesis
>SPQR
do people hate mary beard now?
>History of western philosophy
yeah yeah not the most accurate history book but at least he has a point of view and can state it eloquently. Modern books that try to summarize the history of philosophy spend much time second guessing themselves trying to make sure they dont say anything that could ever be controversial that they scarcely say anything at all.

>consciousness explained
i like daniel dennett but yeah i dont think he makes any fucking sense when he talks about this shit. Also this book title is OMEGALUL

>The Moral Landscape
this book was literally a reworked phd thesis. If you know anything about academia you know its way better than like 90% of those but yeah still a more or less garbage book
