Reading options: An ascetic, Earth's first couple and the Universe.
How the big reading lists makes me feel. I have to admit, I did initially get lost in the sea of reading options on the untextbook but the choices were really easy to make? Why? Because I saw some names I was curious about and wanted to read up on them since forever. The first name on my list is Siddarth (aka Buddha which I think was his title and not his actual name I guess I'll find out in the story). I've been interested in him (and asceticism) for a while, and I've seen his statues in too many museums too mention. I kind of connect with his preached ideology of keeping a (literal) distance from materialism. If that distance is not kept, I feel we start to get possessed by our possessions (instead of the other way round). So, my first pick is Buddha: nice and easy. My second pick (I feel like I'm drafting players for the NBA lol) are: Adam and Eve. I've been curious about the Biblical version of Adam and Eve for a long-time, so this pick was easy
