【推荐2】Do you want to be a billionaire? Most of us can’t live like billionaire Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, but we can read like him. Gates recommended four books.
Leonardo da Vinci, by Walter Isaacson
The bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein researched deeply into Da Vinci’s contributions beyond art, highlighting the breadth of his scientific, technological, and creative output.
The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, by Thi Bui
Gates called this graphic novel “really impressive”. Bui is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the fall of Saigon and becoming a parent inspired her to look into her own parents’ miserable history.
Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders
Saunders, a longtime short story writer, won high praise for this novel. The book imagines the ghosts that haunt (出没于) the basement of Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln’s son, who died at 11 in real life. “Willie’s death after the Civil War made the president have a new understanding of the grief he’s creating in other families by sending their sons off to die in battle,” said Gates.
Origin Story: A Big History of Everything, by David Christian
This new book is by the creator of Big History, a free, online social studies’ course. It traces history in wide, sweeping movements, starting with the Big Bang, and it provides, in effect, a short course in modern science. This is a brief history of the universe.
