Officially obsessed with Oxford’s “Very Short Introduction” series.

The books are generally well-written and don’t have any fluff, which is everything I want from non-fiction. Plus, they’re short enough to read in 2-3 nights.

Highly recommend.

If you only read these books for a decade you’d be better educated, across a wide variety of disciplines, than almost anybody in your social circle.

Here’s the full list of books.

My five roommates and I are studying American government, so we’re reading the one about the U.S. Constitution together.

We have ~40 of them in the house, so I skim through a different one every day. Combined, the collection is like a tour guide for polymaths.

Whenever I need a video introduction to a topic, I visit @TheCrashCourse YouTube channel.

I know it’s for kids, but who cares? If you have kids, it‘d be fun to read the Oxford books while they watch these videos, so you can talk about the ideas together. https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcourse
