Currently not reading often, but I started reading The Unwinding and am a few hours in. I also tried reading Disrupted but the writing style annoyed me and it didn't tell me much new so I stopped reading that one.

Just today Michael Lewis' newest book The Undoing Project launched about Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. I pre-ordered it and I'm eager to give it a listen (kleinbl00).

Bill Gates talked about some of his favorites. I am interested in reading Shoe Dog (in no small part because I've been enjoying listening to NPR's How I Built This podcast) and maybe also Siddharta Mukherjee's new book The Gene so I added them to my reading list.

I looked at the Lewis book. Problem is, Kahneman struck me as such an asshole that I have a hard time imagining myself listening to Michael Lewis tell me he's not an asshole.
