9 books Bill Gates thinks everyone should read oninnovation/flickr Entrepreneur, humanitarian, bookworm. While Bill Gates has a schedule that's planned down to the minute, the entrepreneur-turned-billionaire-humanitarian still gobbles up about a book a week. Aside from a handful of novels, they're mostly nonfiction books covering his and his foundation's broad range of interests. A lot of them are about transforming systems: how nations can intelligently develop, how to lead an organization, and how social change can fruitfully happen.

2014 Reading List “It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.” ~Oscar Wilde There’s probably nothing more dangerous in your house than a stack full of good books. More than any other one thing in my life, books have been the most transformative.

God at Work by Gene Veith (finished, must read!) Flannery O’Connor’s Prayer Journal Luther on Vocation by Wingren The Antelope in the Living Room by Melanie Shankle (finished, HI-Larry-Us) The Tempest by Shakespeare Suttree by Cormac McCarthy
