Been listening to Hare's "Without Conscience". For my first audiobook, I like it a lot - frees up the hands to attend to other things.
Motivated me to read it, probably more so now.
I find I'm not a big fan of Kindle, preferring paperbacks/hardbacks. Could be from being used to them so may get used to reading electronically over time. With that said, my Kindle catalogue is expanding.
I've sent PDFs, books, articles etc., to my Kindle & other PDF-reading apps on my phone too.

Thank you very much for the update! I was not came for a while, and to say the least, it grew up very fast!
I second this: thank you very much for this list. I checked, Ancient City I found it in Project Gutenberg in French. The other books will wait till I have money for them. :) But I keep the list!
Thanks for this, still debating which book I'd like to get into first. Might check if the library has/can get any of these titles.

The list has been updated, as you can see here (also linked in the first post of this thread). The footnotes of the previous version turned into a more extensive guide to the recommended books.
The changes are: new introduction text on top; some more books listed; a lot of new footnotes; and the guide also contains general info for each section of the list, in the corresponding part of the guide. It's also been formatted with heading sizes, etc., to hopefully be easier to navigate.
There were three major goals with the new general info provided:
1. To provide some sense of the role of each section of the list - what the importance of the subjects are, how they fit into the big picture of what we do here. How they relate to the network, to our research, and our individual and collective Work.
2. To make it easier to find your way around the forum, to various threads, excerpts and summaries, and other resources related to the books.
3. As the intro text also mentions: take it easy - take your time with the new info, and doubly so with the books on the list. We can't take on everything at once. It is the hope that the new information will also help you prioritize what to read, according to the needs of your present, individual situation. Of course, whenever it is needed, you can also network such questions as well.
So, hope this helps, and hope you have fun learning. As before, feel free to suggest any additions or other improvements, or just generally discuss things.

Thanks a lot for the update, the list is very comprehensive, I have a question though
This list
That book seems out of place, checking the Amazon page doesn't seem to be about Caesar:

Laura mentioned on one of the Caesar threads that it should be read with the others. I personally haven't read it yet, but I'm sure there's a good reason for it to be there.

Thanks, I will check the thread. Another question: what was the original language of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson? I thought it was Russian, but in all the Russian versions I've found there was a remark: translated from english
Is it realistic to found the original russian unedited scripts of Gurdjieff's books?

As far as I know, Gurdjieff wrote it in Russian and Armenian, which was then translated into English. Gurdjieff worked on the English translation intensively with Orage, which became the definitive version.
