VIDEO: What Bill Gates Thinks You Should Read This Summer
Looking for some summer reading? Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates has some suggestions for you! Over at this blog, Gates says: “Each of these books made me think or laugh or, in some cases, do both. I hope you find something to your liking here. And if it’s not summer where you live, this list will still be here six months from now…”
Watch the video of Gates talking about his picks above. Here are his six book picks (his seventh is the XKCD blog) in no particular order:
How to Lie With Statistics by Darrell Huff
Should We Eat Meat? by Vaclav Smil
The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins
Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh
