Books Bill Gates recommends today? The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion: This book is the first part of the Rosie trilogy and is followed by ‘The Rosie Project’ and ‘The Rosie Result’. This story is about a genetics professor Don Tillman who believed that he was just not made for romantic love. However, he believed that there was someone out there in the world for everyone. So, he embarked upon the ‘Wife Project’ to find the perfect partner for himself. Rosie Jarman was exactly the opposite of all the criteria he had set for the project. Fiery as she is, she is set on her quest to find her biological father. Tillman was the most likely person to help her out and as they set out on this Father Project, Tillman’s idea about relationships are changed. A hilarious and yet beautiful read for anyone who is seeking love and is struggling to overcome all the difficulties that love comes with. Here is what Bill Gates said about this book: “It’s an extraordinarily clever, funny, and moving book about being comfortable with who you are and what you’re good at. This is one of the most profound novels I’ve read in a long time.” Find even more details at Bill Gates recommendation books.
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.
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.”
Bill and his now ex-wife Melinda Gates have three kids—Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe. A fun fact is that they weren’t allowed to have a phone until the age of 14. They also won’t inherit their dad’s entire fortune. We don’t feel too bad about them, though. The year was 1975. Bill Gates and his partner and childhood friend Paul Allen founded software company Microsoft—and the rest is history. When he stepped down from the company in 2020, however, he owned just about 1% of its shares. So, who is the owner of Microsoft now? According to Yahoo! Finance, the largest shareholder as of 2022, is Vanguard Group, Inc., with 8.2%. No single individual has a majority interest in the company.
Why We’re Polarized by Ezra Klein: This topical book by the well-known journalist and political analyst is also deemed “good” by Gates. The deeply researched book looks into what’s driving Americans’ division into highly partisan political camps. “Reading Why We’re Polarized is like having a conversation with a brilliant, extremely persuasive friend who has read everything and who is armed with scores of studies that he’s able to distill into accessible bites,” claims Amy Chua in Foreign Affairs.
