 Would you recommend Gradually then suddenly? Still somewhat new to Bitcoin (got into it less than a year ago) and trying to learn everything I can.  
 I'll let you know when I finish, but having heard parker talk and seen his other writings I would say yes

the Bitcoin standard is a good one if you haven't already

 Awesome. The Bitcoin Standard was my first read, currently making my way through Broken Money  
 i converted it to .txt and started reading it today. 🙂

 that is just factually better than how I'm doing it lolwill enjoy doing this together... but separately  
 i dunno, e readers are sweet.🤷 
 i didn’t know it was originally given as a series of radio talks during the height of ww2. 
 a lot of his stuff is compiled essays from hard times. he and Tolkien were the real deal having lived through war and depression 
 The Screwtape Letters is a must read too. 
 i think that was my second read after mere, so funny but so insightful 

it really made me think again about daily interactions 

I got obsessed with his writings for a bit...

 That collection. 
I’m diving into The Space Trilogy in the new year.  It’s been on the list for a while. https://image.nostr.build/36e4b5be9a9c77f777b43d92684eb4b68ce8c120d032cd32be537a3e96745f83.gif
