Recently read "Metazoa" by Peter Godfrey-Smith, a really entertaining, first-principles-style explanation/theory of how biological systems lead to consciousness. Highly recommend it. I also enjoyed "Range" by David Epstein, although I admit part of that is because it was telling me something I wanted to hear .
Nausea by Sartre.

It resolved my existential crisis. Well worth the read, great literature

Just finished Atomic Habits by James Clear and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've found some of the ideas he writes about incredibly useful and have had fun implementing them in my routine as well.
