Summer Book Recommendations 2024
It’s been two years since our last one and the Leith Wheeler crew has curated another great Summer Reading List! We’ve included a handful of biographies, some great books on tech, as well as the complex systems that are quietly shaping both our geo-political and geological realities, and futures. There’s a Martin Scorsese movie in here, some Charlie Munger quips, and Novel Prize winner with advice on doing better on gender equality and couple equity. We’ve included abbreviated book jacket summaries and where we have them, some Leith Wheelerite commentary on why they liked the books. Enjoy!
A quick word on how to buy these books
