The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Feriss

The Warrior Elite: The Forging of SEAL Class 228 by Dick Couch

The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss (excellent fantasy novelist)

 

[Marina V]

Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis

From the author of notable books Moneyball (the famous book which coined the term 'Moneyball' in the world of baseball about statistical analysis and building a successful team) and The Blind Side (turned into a sappy movie with Sandra Bullock, but the book is a better read).

Liar's Poker tells his own behind-the-scenes story of Wall Street, and rise through the ranks at Salomon Brothers. He has a highly entertaining writing style and I've been making my way through his books.

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James

A really really good story :happy:

 

[tui]

I read this non fiction novel written by Ishmael Beah a few years agoi and highly recommended it. It is called: A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier.

As you know there are many child soldiers, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s, in more than fifty conflicts around the world. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. He is one of the first to tell his story in his own words. I don't want to add anything more as I dont want to ruin the suspense.
In conclusion, it's heavy but the story itself is incredible.

Kurt Vonnegut (R.I.P)
- Armageddon in Retrospect

A book of short stories that were compiled after his death.

One story entitled "Spoils" made me cry, it was so moving.

If anyone here is a Vonnegut fan, it is definitely worth reading.
