Ask HN: Notable books you read this year

Bill Gates top 5 of 2017 is out[1][2], and I'd really like to know what you read this year that stuck with you.

For me, in no particular order:

* Tim Wainwright - "Narco-nomics: How To Run A Drug Cartel"

* Alan Watts - "The Way of Zen"

* Richard Carlson - "Stop Thinking, Start Living"

* Andrew Whitley - "Bread Matters: How and Why to Make Your Own"

* Amanda Palmer - "The Art of Asking"

I'm not a fast reader, and I do have a high hit rate for HN recommendations, so thanks very much if you've mentioned something this year and I've read it. It's appreciated.
