A link to Paul Graham’s Essays was emailed to me by a friend a couple of days ago. I can’t remember the last time that I was so hooked on reading something. I spent all of last night reading about 15 of the essays - they are truly magic stuff.

If you are passionate about the internet, efficiency and starting a company, then these essays are a must read. There is some really fundamental meat and potatoes stuff in there. Just about everything I read slotted perfectly inline with my own thinking and feelings. It was really great to have the thoughts that are buzzing around my head pretty much all day every day totally reinforced by someone who has made it doing the hard yards and doing something he loves.

Paul suggests to select the more difficult choice whenever you come to a decision point in life. Your next difficult decision may well be “Should I read 15 of Paul Graham’s essays or should I just watch TV?”.

Definitely read the essays.
