We don't all have the time to read everything we want to read, but sometimes we also have time to read stuff but don't know what's good out there. The internet is full of recommendations by people, and there's no way you're ever going to read all of them, but one or two might enrich your life somehow, I think. Here are some links to some book recommendation lists that seem pretty legit. If you have any recommendations of your own, feel free to post a reply in this topic.
The first few are yearly lists from TED:

You may find, to your surprise, that you've already read some of these, or that there is some overlap.
