Here are the other four books Gates recommends for the summer: “Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles This coming-of-age novel documents three 18-year-olds and an 8-year-old on their frenzied road trip from Nebraska to California in an old Studebaker. “(Towles) seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway,” Gates writes. “Why We’re Polarized” by Ezra Klein The New York Times columnist dissects the inner workings of our current political polarization, offering a history of what got us to this point and also an examination of the underlying psychology. “The groups we self-identify as are a key part of who we are,” Gates writes. “Most of the time, these identities aren’t inherently positive or negative — but each one of them shapes the way we see the world.”

Gates has three offspring and you must think they are very lucky for they will amass all their father’s fortune eventually. But did you know that each of them will only inherit $10 million each? This is just a fraction of their father’s $81.1 billion net worth. “Leaving kids massive amounts of money is not a favour to them,” he explained in an interview. Even if multilingual people abound Gates’ family, he is monolingual and can only fluently speak in English. “I feel pretty stupid that I don’t know any foreign languages,” Gates admitted in an interview.

Who is Bill Gates? You know, apart from all the conspiracies. In today’s volatile social media environment, it’s more important than ever to separate the facts from the baseless claims about Bill Gates. His life is curious enough without the crazy conspiracies. The Microsoft co-founder started creating software at the young age of 13. He was the richest person in the world for a very long time and donated a lot of his wealth to charity. Bill Gates’ birth name is William Henry Gates III. He was named after his grandfather William Henry Gates I. He was born October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington. This means that, at the time of writing, Bill Gates’s age is 66.

How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil : Another title from the Czech-Canadian professor and Gates’s favorite author, this one is apparently a light read compared to Smil’s other more technical tomes. The book “represents the highly readable distillation of this lifetime of scholarship,” according to The Wall Street Journal. It offers readers an overview of exactly how our material world, from concrete to fertilizer, is made. The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker : “Steven Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined stands out as one of the most important books I’ve read–not just this year, but ever,” wrote Gates back in 2012. Apparently his opinion hasn’t changed in a decade. Discover extra details on https://snapreads.com/.
