Bill Gates added a status update
I’m also often asked about what I am reading—either because people want to learn more about pandemics, or because they are looking for a distraction. So, in addition to the five new book reviews I always write for my summer book list, I included a number of other recommendations.

I hope you find something that catches your interest here:

message 15: by Santosh (new)

Santosh Thanks, I always look for your recommendations. One they are not driven by any promotion or marketing gimmics and two I find that they always make me inquisitive to look at books, authors and their background and third - many of these landed on my wish list too.

Thank you very much for taking efforts to write this for all of us.

Khaled Sherif Thanks for sharing your book recommendations


message 22: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Marquez Thank you for the recommendations. Read The Martian a few weeks back, talk about “social isolation”! It’s a great book, nothing like problem solving and science to move humanity forward.


message 23: by C2015 (new)

C2015 I’m curious what you are reading… Well I’m actually curious about what most people are reading at least my friends and family but I am curious about what you are reading Bill because you have a curious and wide ranging mind. And besides, maybe you got wind of something that I missed! Just kidding, I am mostly ranging in fiction these days, for the distraction yes but I value knowledge, curiosity and the assessments and analysis that comes out of it.


message 24: by Krisha (new)

Krisha Owens This list seems slightly different than your previous readings. I’ll have to check some out. Thanks!

Chinhai Hour Lol


message 39: by Scott (new)

Scott Hey Bill, I’m sure you’ll never read this but would you consider writing on the meaning of life? As a miserable nihilist, I would love to hear your views. What motivates you? Why should people bother to get out of bed In the morning when all they can ever aspire to is a slightly higher position in the rat race hierarchy? What about suicide... when if ever is suicide morally okay? Can all people have a meaningful life regardless of circumstance?(IQ, social position, wealth, etc) Id be delighted if you could address these questions either in writing or on your podcast. Thanks


message 40: by Jeanne (new)

Jeanne Kirby Cullinane Great questions and a unique perspective, that quite frankly I feel, should be a question put at the front of ALL these geniuses “think tanks”!
Imagine the possibilities. Save: save able; let them go. I’m 67. I’ve had a substantial educational background. I have done well at work. I still feel quite unremarkable. So please Bill, if you could find 30 minutes to consider and answer Scott’s questions, that may perhaps


message 41: by Jeanne (new)

Jeanne Kirby Cullinane #2 we could find help clarify......the point.
