Elon Musk recently posted a list of 11 audiobook recommendations on X as we moved into July.
Describing them as essential for “those who think about Rome every day,” Musk suggested that these books, while lengthy, are highly rewarding.
His recommendations start with “The Story of Civilization” by Durant. He follows this with the Penguin edition of “The Iliad” and “The Road to Serfdom” by Friedrich Hayek.
Next on Musk’s list is “American Caesar” by William Manchester, followed by “Masters of Doom” by David Kushner.
Further recommendations include “The Wages of Destruction” by Adam Tooze and “The Storm of Steel” by Ernst Junger.
Musk’s eighth suggestion is “The Guns of August” by Barbara W. Tuchman.
Additionally, he included “The Gallic Wars” by Julius Caesar, “Twelve Against the Gods” by William Bolitho Ryall, and “Genghis Khan” by Jack Weatherford.
