Happy New Year! Did you read any great books in 2015? One of my favorites is M Train, Patti Smith’s intellectual memoir that’s so hard to characterize. Is it a memoir? Not really. It is a wonderful account of the books, poems, music and ideas that have shaped her life. Let’s just call it good. Bill Gates picks a few of his favorites from the year in this video below. I also enjoyed The Road to Character by David Brooks. Other favorites I read in 2015 incude Lincoln’s Gamble by Todd Brewster, Curiosity by Philip Ball, and In Defense of a Liberal Education by Fareed Zakaria.
