This feedback makes sense in the context of what I wrote. I’m going to provide broader context which didn’t make it into the original post.
My reading is cyclical. The books I read in any given year indeed tend to be quite narrow. Some years I read lots of science fiction. Another year was about spirituality. In previous years I’ve read Heart of Darkness, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, 1984, Ancillary Justice, The Little Prince, The Wealth of Nations, Goodbye Darkness, The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality, Steal Like an Artist, Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman, Arabian Sands, Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes, The Fault in Our Stars, Guerilla Warfare and The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.. Technical books don’t show up on this list either because I tend not to read them cover-to-cover. The same goes for other books I’ve tried out without finishing such as Pride and Prejudice, Mere Christianity, Hard Choices, Twilight, Quotations from Chairman Mao and the 1911 Boy Scout Handbook. My scientific research with commercial applications doesn’t get posted to this blog either.
I’m slowly working my way through Sunzi’s The Art of War. This bodes well with your recommendation to read old writings and translate difficult concepts. We may be on the same page here.
I’ve also cracked open a D&D book. Your comment is helpful in encouraging me to continue.
