Ask HN: Books that have stood the test of time?

3 pointsby Glimjauralmost 9 years ago
Sometimes, time is the best differentiator for good and not so good content. Would love some tips on books (fiction and non-fiction) that have stood the test of time, books that we&#x27;re written in a different age but are still relevant.<p>I&#x27;m thinking at least ten years old but preferably even older.

I think you&#x27;ll find the vast majority of published books are still relevant, since most aren&#x27;t about tech, which becomes irrelevant faster than philosophy, music, drama, art and pretty much everything else. Meanwhile, fiction never becomes irrelevant.
