What's your n°1 book I should read that's in the public domain?
I'll start with mine: Walden, by Henry David Thoreau.
He is basically the guy that inspired Christopher McCandless (made famous by Sean Penn's movie Into The Wild) and invented peaceful civic disobedience (the work that inspired Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr). He also inspired Tim Ferris, who later wrote The 4-Hour Workweek and democratized the digital nomad movement.
Tales of Space and Time by HG Wells. It's a bunch of short stories, but one I liked is the first one called "The Star". Its basically a brutal (this is what happens if you don't listen to scientists) climate change story about the destruction of the earth from a rogue star entering our galaxy. It's a quick read but it's great.
