Sean O'Leary's Reading Journey
Worlds Outside. Questions Within.
Identity • Survival • Meaning • Belief
The 2010 reading list travels through legendary storytellers, hostile futures, Western wilderness and humanity's oldest questions. These books ask what makes a person, what helps us endure, how knowledge changes belief and what remains when a familiar understanding of the world no longer holds.
Characters cross wastelands, occupied worlds and lives stretched beyond ordinary limits.
Evidence, evolution and human interpretation test inherited explanations.
Psychology, philosophy and belief move the year beyond adventure alone.
