Bill Gates' læsetips til 2020

For en god start på det nye 2020

Bill Gates er kendt for mange gode ting, blandt andet sin interesse og gode smag for bøger. Han er en ægte bogorm, som generøst deler boganmeldelser og ideer til de gode læsestunder. I december er han her inden det nye år på banen med ideer til fem bøger, som han anser for at være must-reads.

"The five books on my end-of-year list will help you start 2020 on a good note," skriver Bill Gates på hjemmesiden Gates Notes.

Hvorfor ikke prøve at finde tid til nogle hyggelige læsestunder, du kan slappe af med i juleferien? Tag dig god tid og kobl fra med en af disse bøger - eller måske dem alle? Nyd glæden ved læsning og stimuler kreativiteten og opfindsomheden. Måske du finder inspiration til et alletiders nytårsforsæt?

5 must-read bøger til julen

1. An American Marriage

Forfatter: Tayari Jones | 2019

"Jones is such a good writer that she manages to make you empathize with both of her main characters, even after one makes a difficult decision. The subject matter is heavy but thought-provoking, and I got sucked into Roy and Celestial’s tragic love story."

2. These Truths

Forfatter: Jill Lepore | 2019

"Lepore has pulled off the seemingly impossible in her latest book: covering the entire history of the United States in just 800 pages. She’s made a deliberate choice to make diverse points of view central to the narrative, and the result is the most honest and unflinching account of the American story I’ve ever read."

3. Growth

Forfatter: Vaclav Smil | 2019

"As always, I don’t agree with everything Smil says, but he remains one of the best thinkers out there at documenting the past and seeing the big picture."

4. Prepared

Forfatter: Diane Tavenner | 2019

"As any parent knows, preparing your kids for life after high school is a long and sometimes difficult journey. Tavenner—who created a network of some of the best performing schools in the nation—has put together a helpful guidebook about how to make that process as smooth and fruitful as possible."

5. Why We Sleep

Forfatter: Matthew Walker | 2018

"Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep is important—but what exactly counts as a good night’s sleep? And how do you make one happen? Walker has persuaded me to change my bedtime habits to up my chances. If your New Year’s resolution is to be healthier in 2020, his advice is a good place to start."
