sharing a few books I recommended in my annual list (recommend reading!) https://rohitjha.com/blog/reading-highlights-2025/ Non Fiction: - Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang (2025) - How to Live an Extraordinary Life by Anthony Pompliano (2024) Fiction: - The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester (1956) - Consider Phlebas (Culture Series #1) by Iain M. Banks (1987) - The Way of Kings (2010, Stormlight #1) & Words of Radiance (2014, Stormlight #2) by Brandon Sanderson

I haven't read the third in the series. Light reading about a guy's descent into villainy. Yes Please - Amy Poehler: I love memoirs. I just didn't love this one. It read a lot like Leslie Knope was the author, but there was an obscene amount of name dropping that kept interrupting the flow of the book for me. Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir - Eddie Huang: Like I said, I'm a sucker for these things. Picked it up, because the series reminded me of a 90s Asian version of Everybody Hates Chris. The absurdity and random profanity was a little off-putting at first. Remembering how I felt as a black boy doing some of the same dumb things in the 90s really put it into perspective though. The Serpent of Venice: A Novel - Christopher Moore: The follow up to Fool. It's a different take on Shakespearian story-telling. I can't recommend his novels enough.…
