Suggestions for something to read ...

Dear all,

Just because this is such a thoughtful and reflective forum, and having picked up on a book mentioned earlier by Elizabeth that sounded fascinating, I thought I'd ask for your recommendations for reading matter this Christmas.

I'm not thinking HR texts, but books that have got you thinking, provoked a bit of a response from the grey matter, in the world of fiction or non-fiction.

To get things rolling, I'll recommend Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. A fascinating reflection on medicine and living well as we get older and more frail. And not as depressing as that sounds!

Merry Christmas everyone.

  • My girlfriend is currently reading Being Mortal and also seems to be enjoying it.

    Prisoners of Geography and Factfulness are both quite interesting non-fiction books, although I admit I drifted off Factfulness towards the end.

    My favourite reads of the year were The Name of The Wind, and The Wise Man's Fear, book 1 and 2 of a series by Patrick Rothfuss, if you're into your fantasy!
