Does anyone here have a book that they read because of a recommendation from Michael?

I know of and love the work of Mark Fisher because of Michael. A lot of the books books I have read either come from MR interviews or TMBS mentions. I even got The Defender by Ethan Michaeli because I saw it on Michael's shelf during a live stream, and because I am a sucker for good book design. It would be cool if we could build a list of the "What We're Reading" emails that TMBS sent out on Patreon. I'm sure Matt and David have those. I also get a ton of book recommendations through Matt.
I checked out Corey Pein's (hilarious) book, "Live Work Work Work Die" because of Mike. Similarly added Adolph Reed's Class Notes to my to-read list because of him. I've gotten a lot of my to-read books through TMR and Michael.
If anyone finds a comprehensive list let please post it. I would really like to circle back on some of the ones I missed and can’t remember
I will go through my emails from Patreon and see if I can find enough to make a helpful list. I'm sure Matt and David will help out in time. I don't want to bother them at the moment.
There's a TMBS Book Recommendations list here, created by the TMBS fan community: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
Oh hell yes. I tried searching for one this morning but didn't see anything. Thanks!
I once asked him for a recommendation for a book on apartheid and he recommended this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...I believe he also did a live stream just a few weeks ago that was partially just about book recommendations.
