I listed six non-fiction books that I finished earlier this year in a prior post. Since that time, I've finished six additional non-fiction books (listed below) and finished my non-fiction reading goal for 2019.
- Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou. An incredible read. I will forever think of this book when someone tries to tell me we don't need to complete due diligence in late series deals because the investors in the prior rounds were household names that are probably better equipped to diligence the company than we are.
- Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel. Because acquainting yourself with a perspective other than your own never hurts.
- Everything Conceivable: How Assisted Reproduction is Changing Men, Women, and the World by Liza Mundy. I first read this book in my twenties. I had recently donated my eggs and read this book out of academic interest. Reading it again a decade later, childless, my perspective had shifted so dramatically that it felt like a different book.
- Experiences of Donor Conception: Parents, Offspring and Donors by Caroline Lorbach. I bought a hard copy of this book when I wrote a paper about gamete donation for a law school seminar, but had not read it cover to cover (until now).
- The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion. A reasoned approach to understanding what contributed (and continues to contribute) to the current political climate. Poli sci majors, this book is for you!
- Educated by Tara Westover. The similarities between this memoir, Hillbilly Elegy and Heartland are striking.
