American Gods by Neil Gaiman
First Law series by Joe Abercrombie
Non-Fiction
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Moneyball by Michael Lewis

If you liked Outliers, have you read Blink? Still my favorite Gladwell book.
Solid list. I’ll add:
Fiction:
-Devil in the White City (Larson)
-The Client (Grisham)
Non-Fiction:
-Killer’s of the Flower Moon (Grann)
-Enough Already (Horton)
-Smuggler’s End: The Life and Death of Barry Seal (Hanh)
-The Geography of Bliss (Wiener)
-Shoe Dog (Knight)
-The Coddling of the American Mind (Haidt)
The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. The perfect novella. I’ve read it 15 times at least.
Blink and tipping point are both good.
Shoe Dog and Coddling of the American mind are great. The documentary of coddling of the American mind is dog shit though.
-Brave New World (Huxley)
-Interview With The Vampire (Rice)
-The Odyssey (Homer)
The Great Bridge
Last days of Last Island
Empire of the Summer Moon
The Jungle
Any historical novel by Edward Rutherford, especially New York and Russia
Everything by Cormac McCarthy, especially The Road and the Crossing.
Devil in the White City is awesome!
Empire of the Summer Moon is one of my favorites.
You must have read Rules for Radicals, right?
