Ask HN: Books Worth Rereading Periodically?
I read "the intelligent investor" once a year or so to reinforce the value mindset. Are there any other books like that worth reading periodically?

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
The Enchiridion
Be sure to get modern translations of both. Reading these is not an academic exercise, it is a practical exercise.
