A couple of years ago, here o HN, an author shared his experience about collaborating with a publishing house. Apparently the publishers have very specific requirements about the required number of pages and the author has to conform.
2) The Collapsing Empire - John Scalzi
3) The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
I have a feeling the book I am reading now - Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith might have been on this list if I had finished it (and might still be tomorrow).
Will keep adding more as I remember. Hope this helps :)
"A Man for All Markets: From Las Vegas to Wall Street, How I Beat the Dealer and the Market" by Edward O. Thorp
2) Shoe Dog - Phil Knight
3) Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman! - Richard Feynman
No. 1 is a bit of a tricky read but completely worth it in my opinion, never have I read anything that has changed my everyday mindset so much.
2) The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck - Mark Manson
3) Start with Why - Simon Sinek
It was magical for me.
