Embassytown by China Miéville
Embassytown
by China Miéville (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
Few fiction writers combine original ideas with writing saavy like Miéville.
8520610
"You definitely should! I will lend it to you, ask me for it if I don't remember next time I see you."
The River of Doubt by Candice Millard
A fascinating story with only moderate execution.
Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Taleb can be smug, condescending, and, oddly for a man as obsessed with certainty as he, overconfident. Nonetheless, he's talking about ideas in a way that no one else is. And he's probably right.
Quiet by Susan Cain
Maybe this book oversimplifies, generalizes and tells overly pat stories. Maybe it's 100% on the money. Regardless, I don't care -- any book that alters or influences my understanding of reality as much as this one is amazing.
Against the Gods by Peter L. Bernstein
Truly a history of risk, in that it focuses a lot more on the evolution of risk as a concept than on modern risk management.
The Outsiders by William N. Thorndike
Worth it for the lesson that success as CEO is more derived from capital allocation than charisma. A tad obsessed with Jack Welch as a benchmark.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
