- A Random Walk Down Wall Street: I got much more interested in personal finance this year, and definitely recommend this book as a stepping stone for learning about investing. - Frankenstein: Highly recommend! It is nothing like it is portrayed to be in pop culture and I thoroughly enjoyed it. - Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in America: It is literally unbelievable. It follows Katy Tur, a reporter tasked with following Trump leading up to the election. If you aren't already fed up with Trump, then give this a whirl. - Dune: 5/5 sci-fi - The Society of the Spectacle: I had trouble with this one. I think some things get lost in translation, and the philosophical arguments are so abstract it was a bit hard to follow along. I had a few key take-aways but to be honest it was kind of a chore to read. - How Not to Die: Argues for prioritizing a plant-based diet, and definitely changed my relationship with food. - East of Eden: My wife's favorite book and is now one of my favorites. - Sapiens: Very enjoyable, but some of it can feel pseudo-sciency and gets a bit nihilistic in the end.…
