This book by Frans G. Bengtsson came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Michael Lewis. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“it's like one of these books that it's just a miracle of a book it's called the longships and it's by a Scandinavian historian”— Michael Lewis
