Old books

Anyone into reading old books? I mean ones written 100 years ago or even longer. Just finished "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" for the 5th time or 6th time. Written in 1923 and it blows my mind many of the same principals back then apply to financial markets today.

I want to get a copy of "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds". It is public domain, as is most old literature, but I want a physical book to read. Originally published in 1841 and is one of the first studies on the psychology of crowd behavior (aka sheep). Haven't read it yet, but it sounds interesting.

What books yall recommend?

If you want old, try principia and opticks.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

They had the technology to rebuild me. They made me better, stronger, faster......
