Trevor Noah's Born a Crime is a delightful read. It's serious yet funny at the same time.
@taishiling what a coincidence, just started my morning with a video of Trevor Noah & Jay Shetty chatting.
Robert Sapolsky primate's memoir
books of Oliver Sacks
@gleb_slonimskiy Wow ! That's a unique subject.
Haven't read anything in this genre yet.
Thanks for the reco.
The big four – about Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google. Also, the good one was from the Czech author Dominik Stroukal (Economic Bubbles) explaining all economic bubbles since the Tulip mania.
@busmark_w_nika Economic bubble looks interesting, have to check it out .
1. The Psychology of Money
2. Courage to be Disliked
" The Top Five Regrets of the Dying" ... hearing it for the first time and Amazoned it. Appears a good read! Thanks for introducing me to this book 🌞
@lead_balloon @sanat_mohanty I wish we had such books in schools and prepare the young world to be strong from young.
@indu_thangamuthu just started 'Courage to be Disliked'. Seems interesting so far.
@sanat_mohanty Seriously GOOOOOOOD!
@indu_thangamuthu Courage to be Disliked is a great book!
@indu_thangamuthu @lead_balloon agreed. Teaches one to take ownership

@albertodrs Now we know who to invite, when we throw a launch party 😉.
Possibly my geeky side may show here but I've devoured several Jane Austen books (Pride and Prejudice for the third time, Emma and Persuasion) and I want to finish the year with Les Miserables but I still have a good chunk of it to go.
Some of my favorites this year were Ficciones by Borges and Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I just launched my project Reading This where you can make and maintain your current top five reading recs. You may dig it! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
@jake_weber 'Reading This' - the concept looks great. Deserves far more upvotes.
@sanat_mohanty Thank you Sanat, appreciate that!
I read many fictional books can't remember all. The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye, Invisible Man and many others
@johnathan_kimbrough looks like a good read list mate !
Few that i read were:
- Molecule of More
- Dopamine Nation
- Tiny Habit [ongoing]
