I used to read ~100 books/year as a teenager, but it has slowly deteriorated to maybe 20-30 books, at most. And I don't even finish all of them because life is too short! Some books are just not that interesting.

A personal reading list from 2017 covering books across economics, venture capital, operations research, business management, and military leadership. Highlights include 'The Manager's Path' as the top recommendation for technical managers, 'The Goal' and 'Principles of Product Development Flow' for understanding manufacturing and software pipelines, and reflections on leadership styles drawn from military figures like Rommel and McChrystal. Also includes brief notes on music consumed during the year.
