The Prophet
Kahlil Gibran

Alfred A. Knopf, 1923

Eight Decades Later: Still Relevant, Insightful and Eloquent
These days, Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" often gets dismissed as "hippie" literature. Yet, this book had been a bestseller LONG before the 1960s. Originally published in 1923, it almost instantly became a hit and even did well through the Great Depression. Today, ...
  
  











  



  
The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Text on Value Investing
Benjamin Graham

Collins Business, 2005

A classic -- still worth reading after 60 years
Since reading Graham, I keep running into his name everywhere -- and for good reason. Graham (and his disciple Warren Buffet) does not talk about -- or believe in -- get-rich-quick schemes (those are speculation), but in sound principles of looking for solid, well-run ...
  
  











  



  
A Clockwork Orange
Anthony Burgess

W. W. Norton & Company, 1986

Fantastic, yet complicated

The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
Diane Ackerman

W. W. Norton, 2008

Terrifying and moving
The most incredible thing about this book is that it really happened. Jan and Antonina Zabinski were zookeepers at the Warsaw Zoo and were disgusted and horrified by the treatment of the local Jews by the Nazis. As the Warsaw ghetto was gradually cleared by the total ...

This Seuss Classic In Not Just For Kids
This classic Dr. Seuss book is not just for kids. It's probably not even especially for kids. This classic book is the perfect gift for transitions: graduation, weddings, adoptions (my favorite paired with Dr. Seuss's "Horton Hatches An Egg"), new job, getting fired ...
