A nice list of all the recommended Jordan Peterson books, the other lists either include everything or have some books that aren't part of the list.

Great books, gives you a wide exposure to ideas from senseless murder of Nanking to dystopia times with controlled speech.

I recommend Man's search for meaning by Viktor F, such an interesting book about how people live through the darkest of times (Concentration camps).
