Retired Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates always recommends 5 books for summer reading (and 5 more at the end of each year). They are books that challenge you to look at the world around you.
You may never be a billionaire but you can always read like one! So take a look at this summer's recommendations; the first three can be checked out digitally on your tablet, phone or Kindle using your State of Kansas library card.
Leonardo da Vinciby Walter Isaacson.
Everything Happens for a Reason(and Other Lies I've Loved) by Kate Bowler.
Written after Kate was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer.
Lincoln in the Bardoby George Saunders.
Mixes a bit of history with the supernatural. This book has 166 characters; a read like no other.
Origin Story: A Big History of Everythingby David Christian.
Gates says this book will leave you with a greater appreciation of humanity's place in the world.
Factfulness: Ten Reasons We are Wrong About the World and Why Things are Better than You Think by Hans Rosling.
"An indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world." Bill Gates
