Video of the Day: 15 Books Bill Gates Thinks Everyone Should Read


15 Books Bill Gates Thinks Everyone Should Read
Alux.com

1. "Life Is What You Make It" by Peter Buffett
Definitely going to be a book on my list in 2019. 

2. "Where Good Ideas Come From" by Steven Johnson

3. "Moonwalking With Einstein" by Joshua Foer
Maybe it will help me remember Glen's name is "Glen" and not "Evan." 

4. "Tap Dancing To Work" by Carol Loomis

5. "Making The Modern World" by Vaclav Smil

6. "The Sixth Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert

7. "The Man Who Fed The World" by Leon Hesser

8. "The Rosie Project: A Novel" by Graeme Simsion
Socially awkward professor? No wonder it is a favorite of Gates. 

9. "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
LOVED THIS BOOK!!! 

10. "Business Adventures: Twelve Classic Tales From The World of Wall Street" by John Brooks

11. "How To Life With Statistics" by Darrell Huff

12. "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari
Another book on by 2019 book list. 

13. "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell
Kinda impressed that one of my all-time favorite books is one of Bill Gates' top 15 books. It also could be because Gladwell mentioned Gates in his book. 

14. "The Box" by Marc Levinson

15. "How Not To Be Wrong" by Jordan Ellenberg
Once again another book I want to read this year. But then again I'm not wrong. It's kinda odd, but the two words I hear most (besides "Stop That") are "You're Right." 

Bonus
16. "The Innovators: How A Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created The Digital Revolution" by Walter Isaacson
