Book Recommendations

I've been on a Kindle book binge lately, so here are a few I've read and can recommend: * Moonwalking with Einstein: The Science of Remembering Everything

Super and funny stuff on how a journalist became a star in the competitive remembering business.

* How the End Begins: The Road to a Nuclear World War III

Quirky, digressive and bleak wander through the backwoods of nuclear states.

* Country Driving: A Journal Through Rural China

Lovely and memorable travelogue through China during the biggest rural-urban migration in world history.

* Endgame: Bobby Fischer's Remarkable Rise and Fall

As the title suggests, chess grand master Bobby Fischer's story. Remarkable, sad and penetrating.

* Nature: An Economic History

Deep stuff from a biological polymath linking economics, biology and growth in unprecedented and important ways.

* How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Answers

A self-help book disguised as a biography, or vice-versa, this is well-written, smart and compelling all the way through.

* Macachiavellian Intelligence: How Rhesus Macaques and Humans Have Conquered the World

What we humans can learn from macaques relatives in our rise to global dominance.

* My Korean Deli: Risking it All For a Convenience Story

Funny and culturally penetrating stuff in a quasi-memoir of entrepreneurship, writing and Korean culture.

My entry - 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read - this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody. 2. The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto. 3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
