Here are all the books I've read in 2017! https://booknshelf.com/@tigran/shelves/the-books-ive-read-in...


The Boys in the Boat: The True Story of an American Team's Epic Journey to Win Gold at the 1936 Olympics > https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24611866-the-boys-in-the...

Truly a remarkable story, well told.


I am reading a lot and so far the greatest book published in 2017 for me is:

A Man for All Markets by Edward O. Thorp

A truly remarkable man and very inspirational life story...


I read Disrupted by Dan Lyons over the summer. It's by no means an objective piece, but I don't think that Lyon's negative opinions of the VC-tech scene are undeserved. Also, he is an exceptionally talented narrator.
