"I just looked over the list of books I read this year, and I noticed a pattern," writes Gates. "A lot of them touch on a theme that I would call 'how things work.' Some explain something about the physical world, like how steel and glass are used, or what it takes to get rid of deadly diseases. Others offer deep insights into human beings: our strengths and flaws, our capacity for lifelong growth, or the things we value. I didn’t set out to explore these themes intentionally, though in retrospect it make a lot of sense since the main reason I read is to learn."
Basically, Gates' just created an essential reading guide for anybody who loves to learn.
Check out some of Gates' favorite books and why he loved each title below.
