Ask HN: Notable books you read this year

Bill Gates top 5 of 2017 is out[1][2], and I'd really like to know what you read this year that stuck with you. For me, in no particular order: * Tim Wainwright - "Narco-nomics: How To Run A Drug Cartel" * Alan Watts - "The Way of Zen" * Richard Carlson - "Stop Thinking, Start Living" * Andrew Whitley - "Bread Matters: How and Why to Make Your Own" * Amanda Palmer - "The Art of Asking" I'm not a fast reader, and I do have a high hit rate for HN recommendations, so thanks very much if you've mentioned something this year and I've read it. It's appreciated. [1] https://www.gatesnotes.com/About-Bill-Gates/Best-Books-2017 [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15844904
