Read previewElon Musk has come up with a list of recommended audiobooks — but they may not make terribly relaxing listening by the pool or beach this summer. "Admittedly, this is a list that appeals to those who think about Rome every day," Musk wrote on X, referring to the viral internet craze questioning how often men dwell on the Roman Empire.

“War” by Sebastian Junger, “End Times” by Peter Turchin and “The Unwinding,” the fabulous book by illustrator/writer Jackie Morris. No one should be surprised by a writer’s library. We all read well beyond the literary forms for which we are known. However, a friend was scanning my shelves and asked, “Why do you have that book on cocaine?” Dominic Streatfeild’s “Cocaine: An Unauthorized Biography” is a terrific book — I read it for background research. Sometimes my mother would comment, “I think that book will mean more to you when you’re older, love.”

The photograph, taken in 2008 by the late British photographer Tim Hetherington, is from a time when nearly a fifth of all combat in Afghanistan was taking place in the six-mile valley. Tim HetheringtonBoth Hetherington and Junger became “enamoured with the opportunity to show the intimacy of a platoon in combat,” Junger said in an interview via telephone. “My examination of young men and violence, or of young men… It’s as much a journey about my own identity as it is about those young soldiers,” he wrote. ‘It took a little bit from his soul’In this process, Hetherington worried about how photography could be extractive. He wrote of the young men he met there: “They are grimily happy that we are here to help them.

Talk Marina Abramovic Thinks the Pain of Love Is Hell on Earth“I’m all for heroism,” Marina Abramovic says. You can find bliss and be happy; you don’t need to be with somebody you don’t love. But if you have unconditional love, general love for the planet, human beings, the rocks, the trees, everything else, this is the love that nourishes. It is important not to fear pain, to understand pain and accept it. You ever have love pain?

CNN —Sebastian Junger is used to dodging bullets in war zones, so he didn’t expect to almost die in his own driveway. It was so dire, he needed a transfusion of about 10 pints of blood right into his jugular. A near-death experienceBesides making him an advocate for blood donation, the experience also caused the affirmed atheist to question what happens after death. And there was my dead father welcoming me, and I don’t know why.”The next day, an intensive care unit nurse told Junger he had almost died. That was the experience Junger seemed to have with his dead father.
