Have month off... what should I read?
Wrapped up my analyst stint and don't start at my new PE job until after labor day. I'm doing a fair amount of travel and just taking time off to relax, but want to stay sharp and do a lot of reading as well. Any books, articles, essays, etc. you've read that changed the way you thought about investing, business, life in general etc. that you would recommend?
Non-Fiction:
* Billion Dollar Whale
* Prisoners of Geography
* The Rise and Fall of Great Powers
* Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World
* Sapiens
* Guns, Germs, & Steel
* The Billionaire Raj
Fiction
* The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
* Ender's Game
* World War Z
- Dune by Frank Herbert: read the first book, if you're hooked read the entire series. Book#4, "God Emperor of Dune" is my favorite and I really don't know how to explain it.
- Any book by Tom Clancy: everyone seems to hate on America these days, and it's getting old. Time for some good old fashioned American jingoism ra-ra!! And no one does that better than Tom Clancy. I recommend his book "Red Storm Rising" as it seems appropriate and oddly prophetic. And then there is my favorite Clancy book, "Rainbow Six". Or you can read the Jack Ryan series!
- Any book by Guy Gavriel Kay: many refer to him as the greatest living author today, as his prose is magical and unparalleled. I'd recommend starting with either "Tigana" or "The Lions of Al Rassan"
- Brandon Sanderson's "Cosmere": controversial? The GOAT? What is all this about? Well... time to find out! If you enjoy fantasy give "Mistborn" or "Stormlight Archive" a try!
