The Daniel Docs Syllabus
A roundup of the awesome authors I interviewed in 2025 and their awesome books
Greetings from the Daniel Docs team! Here is a syllabus of books by authors I interviewed. I expect you to read all these books by Q2 2026. I expect you to write really nuanced essays about these books and send these essays to me via carrier pigeon.
I’ve included excerpts from each interview with these awesome sauce authors (and links to their awesome sauce books)!
#PERSONAL UPDATE: I was a guest on Dirt’s very fun podcast, Tasteland. I shared the origins of Daniel Docs. I ranted about Partiful. I gave an important update on my Fran Lebowitz fixation. I defended the Rachel Sennott show.
I… MENTIONED IT ALL!!!
Alright, enough about me… here is the freakin’ Daniel Docs Syllabus….
