So glad the retreat went well, and that you followed your instincts and napped. I've napped the last couple of days; not my style. The heat! Blame it on the heat. 🥵 I am sad that I will have to miss the full moon writing session this Thursday. I'm sure it will be great.

The Decameron. Canterbury Tales. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (despised and abandoned).

I agree with you on recommending a finance book. For me, that book was "The Millionaire Next Door" (a pretty well-known title, I think). A life-changer, and I'm so grateful I read it early in life. Another book I'd recommend-- though outside the study curriculum-- is "Smart Talk for Achieving Your Potential" by Lou Tice. I'd put it in the self-help category, but it's another game-changer, as you'll see from the Amazon reviews. It's not literature, but if any young adults (or adults) struggle with negative self-talk or self-doubt, Tice will help you kick that self-sabotaging habit. It's such an important lesson for setting your mind straight to succeed in life.
