july

I’d like to do my best to read books that I feel are still going to be relevant in 100 years, in a 1000 years

Eventhough I don't feel that need (as there is high chances I won't live forever, i'm just happy with books that are relevant to me... At the moment I'm reading them, also pretty sure  that none of my favourite books will pass the test of, say, the century), I'm interested in your picking.

When feeling that need do you go with already-classics or do you have, dunno, a feeling about some contemporary books?

When I talked about not living forever, I meant: if I had all the time in world, then yes, I would read all the timeless books around me (and further away).
But then, my question: how do you pick? Specially contemporary ones. I personally have no idea what will last. Still I have a better chance predicting what won't.

I think it’s less about I want to live forever, but more that just these are the books that feel relevant to me at the moment, it may change over time too, no?

Also, by all means - I’m also interested in books that aren’t going to last too, it doesn’t preclude me reading books that don’t fit this category
