This Year in Books 2016

  • Post author:

This Year in Books 2016 Each year I post a summary of the books I read. In This Year in Books 2015 I shared that A Short History of Nearly Everything was my personal book of the year. In 2015 it was Moonwalking with Einstein. Maybe it was a combination of moving to a new city and starting an MBA program, but my reading this year felt less inspired. I read a lot of textbooks,…
