Great thread. 2019 was the first time in about 7-8 years I made reading for pleasure a tertiary priority ((school+career)work/sleep/exercise+socializing+(NEW!)reading) and I got through about 20 books of varying length and difficulty, so here are the next 20 in my queue: - Infinite Jest (already started, will likely finish in early Jan. I love it so far.) - Quantum Computing Since Democritus (started in November as my nonfiction read, but took a break; I think I want to finish IJ first. Scott is an excellent writer and I was really enjoying this) - Building Microservices - The Code Book - How Cars Work (I want to turn the projection of a car in my brain from a black box to a gray box this year, and I don't mean by purchasing a Cybertruck) - To Kill a Mockingbird…

# Intuition Pump and other tools for thinking by Daniel Dennett # Books edited by John Brockman - 1) This Explains Everything, 2) This Idea is Brilliant, 3) This Will Make You Smarter, 4) Thinking # Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman Also second the recommendation of other books based on Charlie Munger's wisdom and farnam street's reading list.

My five year old is a voracious reader. I feel like this is one of the most important educational tools you can give anyone. We stress to her that if you can read, and comprehend, there's nothing you cannot learn. That's why I included the first two on this list. How to Read a Book - Mortimer Adler How to Read Slowly - James Sire The Personal MBA - Josh Kaufman The Intelligent Investor - Benjamin Graham Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie
