Some of my nonfiction favorites I read over the past year or so include Hillbilly Elegy, Killers of the Flower Moon, Bad Blood, Shoe Dog, Let My People Go Surfing, American Predator, Deluxe: How Luxury Lost It’s Luster, Richistan: Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich (older but still good), Billion Dollar Whale (good but dense, maybe not best for getting into reading). Have a bunch of fiction recs too if you like
I want to see your list of fiction recs please?
I’m a big nonfiction and history junkie, so some of these may not sound fun but they really were:
- the big short (the movie is great, and the book is infinitely better)
- rise and kill first (the story of mossad)
- valiant ambition (how Benedict Arnold’s betrayal may have been the turning point that saved America from itself)
- the men who lost America (an examination of the American revolution from the perspectives of the British leaders and generals who were responsible for losing the colonies, and the ridiculous political forces that tied their hands)
- misbehaving (behavioral economics and why we make stupid decisions)
- fierce conversations (how to have tough conversations really, really well)
- on grand strategy (basically the history of strategy - won the Pulitzer)
- the shallows (Nicolas Carr’s work on why digital devices are killing our ability to focus and concentrate, and therefore create)
- how the mighty fall (Jim Collins on the stages of what it looks like when a company is on the path to implode, and how to avoid/pull up before its’s too late. Could also be called “why companies can’t get out of their own way.”)
Misbehaving was awesome
Find a used book store and wander for an hour. Some of my best reads were random finds for a few bucks.

A lot of good reads listed, I'd add The Only Three Questions by Ken Fisher. Very useful even for issues unrelated to investing.
the little prince
I am reading the Sapiens and it is giving me a very new perspective of humans
Other books I like
- High Output Management
- 4 hour work week
- The Effective Executive by Drucker
- The Alchemist
I recently finished reading ‘23 things they don’t tell you about capitalism’ by Ha-joon Chang and ‘Upheaval: The turning points for nations in crisis’. Loved both the books and would highly recommend.
Don’t give in! Think of all the things you can accomplish in 20 hours. Respectfully say no thank you 😎
Difficult women by Roxane Gay
Shrill by Lindy West
Eloquent Rage by Brittany Cooper
Aesop’s Fables
recent reads: Flash Boys, Too big to fail, Leadership in turbulent times, Business Adventures. finance/business centric nonfiction. though if you're trying to get passionate about reading then a good novel may be best. OP what kind of movies or shows do you watch? that may inform the kind of books you'll like.
The richest man in Babylon.
Sapiens, 12 rules for life, the simple path to wealth, Factfulness. You're welcome.
Anytthing by Sidney Sheldon is great for fictional reading....
