SÃO PAULO – Já não é novidade que o bilionário Bill Gates gosta de ler. Todos os anos, o co-fundador da Microsoft divulga, em seu blog, uma lista de livros que ele já leu e recomenda que os outros também leiam.
Em abril deste ano, a pedido dos organizadores do TED, ele exibiu uma lista com seis livros que não podem faltar na cabeceira de ninguém em 2015. Agora, ele incluiu mais sete obras à sua coleção.
O primeiro livro, “Hyperbole and a Half”, é uma coletânea de tirinhas publicadas pela artista Allie Brosh. Em seguida ele destaca “A Magia da realidade”, de Richard Dawkins; “What If” e “XKCD”, ambos escritos por Randall Munroe; “How to Lie With Statistics”, por Darrell Huff; “Should We Eat Meat?”, de Vaclav Smil; e “On Immunity”, por Eula Biss.
