Lex Fridman's Reading Plan in Numbers

Later in the list he has Gödel Escher Bach - which seems unfathomable to read in a week to me. I used to keep this with me while I was working overnights - can't imagine you'd get much out of it if you read it in a week.

That said, my personal conspiracy theory is that he's using books he's already read as buffers for the longer harder books. If he doesn't really reread, and has read ~30% of the list already, it's much more reasonable.

I am so intimidated by that book. One day.

Would you recommend? Is it as good as the hype? I feel like it will be a long project.

Yeah - it's great. Though to tell you the truth, I didn't get around to finishing it. Got about half way - busy time in my life with new babies etc. Will tackle it again some time. It's a little like reading Alice in Wonderland mixed with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
