Hellboy: The Bones of Giants
Mike MignolaIke Sharpless 🦦@svateboje My top 1 is definitely Aristotle, after that it’s probably a top 10 with lots of five volume groupings (Whitehead, Deleuze, Arendt, Orwell, Plato, Thay, …). If comics count my current top author is Hellboy’s Mike Mignola. (And my currently owned Orwells are collected.)

The Republic
PlatoIke Sharpless 🦦@fustbariclation This is beginning to sound as old as Plato's Republic (core tension between family and other forms of allegiance - you seem to be wanting to just draw it out to the species line, which is what many socialist internationalists also want, in an sense)...not a new project after all?

Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe
Steven StrogatzIke Sharpless 🦦@squir_real That said I've long been fascinated by finitude and mathematical infinities, so...guilty as charged, no doubt. Steven Strogatz's Infinite Powers is probably my favorite book on the topic!

Tao Te Ching
LaoziIke Sharpless 🦦@XIIYIlZ That's quite broad! I have two paired recommendations, though - Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, and Laozi's Tao te Ching. If you've read either of those I have others... On the laws of nature I like Lee Smolin and Carlo Rovelli's works, which are more in the vein of pop sci.
