Since the last few years, I have made it a habit to write about the books[1] I read without trying to add my smart-a* comment but more as a way to come back later in life and read the articles. For this year, here are some of the books I liked (quite a few of them are re-reads);

- The Story of My Experiments with Truth, the autobiography of Mohandas K. Gandhi (English Version)

- Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford

- Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

- Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson

- The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution by Walter Isaacson

- Ego is the Enemy, Stillness Is the Key, and The Obstacle Is the Way; all 3 books by Ryan Holiday

- Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls by Mary Pipher[2]

How was the da Vinci biography? I’d be curious about the accuracy.


I like the story-telling. As for the accuracy, I have not tried to compared it to anything, so not much of a clue.
