10. The Varieties of Religious Experience, by William James. While we are so close in the list to Emerson, I want to add this book, which was a generation on. It’s the source of a line that I live by: “I believe everything that I can; I would believe everything if I could.” James is such a gentle inquirer and so laudably inclusive and hopeful, that I can’t imagine a library without this volume.
If you're interested in the whole letter, here's the link.
The furthest I've ever run in one setting is 10k (6.2 mi).
It sounds like you are resolved in all good things. Enjoyed your post.
