About time. Vaguely embarrassing for humanity that books for children were so strongly dominating adult reading. https://nathanbransford.com/blog/2023/03/why-are-ya-sales-declining-this-week-in-books

I’m curious about how you constructed these categories. For example, the distinction between personal lighthouses and personal favorites? What’s the difference?

Lighthouses shape my thinking. Favorites are just books I like, but aren't necessarily influential in my own thinking.

It's solid stuff, but the end of history theory has heavily shaped my thinking

Fair! Interesting that Fukuyama’s post Cold War pronouncement was more influential for you than his explicit theory of political development
