Welcome to the Books of Titans Podcast where I (Erik Rostad) seek truth & beauty in the Immortal Books. My goal is to read the Great Books written by 200 authors over the next 15 years and share what I’m learning. I’ll talk a bit about each book, tie ideas together from a variety of genres, and share the one thing I always hope to remember from each of the Immortal Books. www.booksoftitans.com

The two pillars of this reading project are to read more books and to remember what I read. To that end, I’ve experimented with a variety of practices to attempt to assist with memory. I’m always on the hunt for new ideas.
That’s how I came across R... more

We only have so much time in our life, and Erik recognizes this. He has chosen to read the great books, the books, that have influenced people for thousand of years. Allowed people to form new ideas on many subject matters. To read the current books that have not stood the test of time can be a poor use of time. Time is our enemy and he grew to understand this and focused on the great books. A task we all would grow a lot from. The progressions he makes in his thinking has been deeply valua... more
I am a woman, and I love this podcast!
Erik talks about himself and his family, and if you can relate to that, then you will probably also enjoy the books he reviews favorably. I have read some books based on his recommendations and enjoyed them all.
And the music is fire!
Highly variable in quality
I enjoy listening and learning from these podcasts as I go on walks or mow the lawn. He reviews books that I otherwise would not read and I glean insight and wisdom from the reviews. Very nuanced and enjoyable for me. Thanks for doing these.
At first I did not like this podcast but came back and listened to more recent episodes including the most recent about Trumps book end enjoyed these episodes much more. If you don’t enjoy the early episodes skip ahead and give it another try. Looking forward to the Biden episode and whatever follows.
