[Kherty]

Poem - "Metamorphoses" by Ovid
Book - "A Hero of our time" by Lermontov
Philosophy - "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, "Ecce Homo" by Nietzsche, "Why I am not Christian?" by B. Russell
More Modern - "Homo Deus" by Y. N. Harari (popular science), "Flowers for Algeron" by D. Keyes (philosophical fiction), "Imagined Communities" by B. Anderson (sociology/anthropoly/politology), "Fiasco" by Stanislaw Lem (philosophy/science fiction)

Interesting collection, haven't read any of them except Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. And Ecche Homo by Nietzsche who has been on my bucket list for like, a million year. And I haven't heard about the rest, especially Metamorphoses by Ovid. I've read about it quickly on Wikipedia, it has been quite influential it seems, definitely needs a read.

Thanks for your reply!

Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson is a banger, especially the last five lines.

Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson is also great.

Thanks for the two poems and the website, Toaster! I can agree, it's a certified banger. I like both. but especially the first.
