The best book published in 2017 for me is this one:<p>&quot;A Man for All Markets: From Las Vegas to Wall Street, How I Beat the Dealer and the Market&quot; by Edward O. Thorp<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.edwardothorp.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;a-man-for-all-markets&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.edwardothorp.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;a-man-for-all-markets&#x2F;</a>

1) The Stories of Ibis by Hiroshi Yamamoto (my almost-annual re-reading)<p>2) The Collapsing Empire - John Scalzi<p>3) The Handmaid&#x27;s Tale - Margaret Atwood<p>I have a feeling the book I am reading now - Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith might have been on this list if I had finished it (and might still be tomorrow).

1) De Vita Beata (&quot;On the Happy Life&quot;) - Seneca<p>2) Shoe Dog - Phil Knight<p>3) Surely You&#x27;re Joking Mr. Feynman! - Richard Feynman<p>No. 1 is a bit of a tricky read but completely worth it in my opinion, never have I read anything that has changed my everyday mindset so much.

In 2017, I discovered that books are becoming increasingly obsolete as a medium of sharing knowledge. I&#x27;ve found that more condensed and&#x2F;or interactive forms are much more useful to me and enable me to learn at an increased pace.
