There are always better books than the ones I read, and there will never be the best. I’ve tried selecting a few that I can remember at all times, the most interesting book to me, and I’ve listed them on my website at https://brajeshwar.com/#books
If I had to return and re-read, I’d re-read “Leonardo da Vinci.”

I don't know. An entire dedicated domain and GitHub project just for a paragraph and a couple of lists seems excessive. I'm surprised that the author didn't just post this on his blog [1]

This really is an interesting case of plagiarism since there are multiple versions of this article by different authors, each who has slightly changed the other.
