Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
“It actually reminds me, I'm reading one of my sons right now, the third book of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.”
book / recommends
Lessons From History
“Ooh, okay. So let me pull up my list because I got to pull up my Kindle for this. One is I'm reading right now. I got to admit, I like to make fun of Marc Andreessen a lot, but he recommended a book called The Ancient City, which is fascinating. And so I'm in the middle of that right now. I'm really enjoying it. Man's Search for Meaning is great. I'm just going through. What have I read recently? You know what's great? Area 51, An Uncensored History: The Top Secret Military Base. Not very Erudite, great book. And then I honestly think the one serious one I'll make a recommendation on is Lessons From History is one of my favorite books ever. I would really, really, really recommend it. It's a short read, but Lessons From History by Ariel Durant is probably the most approachable, non-obvious book I love.”

There are limits to this, but if you go out to a normal dinner in a normal situation, you don't offer to split it, you just offer to pay for it. And then you should be declined on that, but there is a little bit of a risk there because someone might not decline you and then you kind of are on the hook for it, but that is, I think, the polite thing and the polite way to approach it.

If you're the less senior person, if you are the less busy person, you should let the other person tell you when they're free and then make it work on your end, is what I would say.
