Book Recommendations
Daily Rituals
by Mason Currey
To anyone who is creative or ambitious, you take so much solace in seeing all the different processes people just do. What did Charles Dickens do every day? What'd he do every day? What did Darwin do every day? What did Steve Jobs do every day? It's just so reassuring to see, "Eh, everyone's got their own system."

The Oxford Book of Aphorisms
by John Gross
There's a book called "The Oxford Book of Aphorisms" which I love. It's just the most well-edited, brilliant one-liners from history and you can spend hours on a page or you can just flip through it. I give that one a lot.
