“I think a lot of it can be summarized in this book called 'The Journalist and the Murderer' by Janet Malcolm.”

“You may know him as the author of some hugely best-selling books, including Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, and just recently, a new book called Unstoppable Us: How Humans Took Over the World.”

“I've written a translation—a new translation—of the classic account of the conspiracy by the historian Sallust, written about 20 years later.”

“Maybe you can tease it, but I know you have a book coming out on the second conflict, the one between Cato and Caesar. I would love to have a conversation with you about that book when it comes out.”

“In my book, I'm trying to trace the story of Caesar's rivalry with Cato, who was another great leader of that generation.”

“I mean even Keith Richards... all this stuff he did! I mean that guy could write 4,000 books; he waited till his 70s before he wrote one!”

“This concept was explored thoroughly in a book by Michael Pollan about caffeine, which I found enjoyable. Nevertheless, when he returned to caffeine after a long break, the effects on his mood, alertness, and overall well-being felt almost remarkable; this reinforced for him how much caffeine contributed to his normal functioning.”

“Yes, yeah, it's it's and from The Great Gatsby, right?”

“For instance, by the way, by the Bee, he too just came out by Michael Mann and Meg Gardner which is the follow-up to Heat, the film they wrote this book!”

“Courtney would have been way better; William Golden's already written a book about it, it's called How Ozark Could Have Been Better.”
