I'm reading a few. The Power Broker (really good, but really long). The dictators handbook (good, but repetitive). Deep thinking (easy and enjoyable if you're interested in AI). Investment Science (very good if you're interested in math finance).

Deep Thinking really sounds fun! I agree, The Dictator's Handbook is really good, but sometimes really repetitive and it takes a bit of dedication to finish it.

As for my current one, I'm really enjoying Ted Chiang's Stories of Your Life and Others.

Investment Science - is that the one by David Luenberger? Green cover?

Yes! It actually has a bunch of really deep math hiding in plan sight (they have a chapter where they reinvent RL but call it dynamic portfolio optimization, and when they axiomize risk they are really talking about special measures)
