2017-2020 Reading List

Here are 100 books, some of which I have read and highly recommend in light of current events. The rest are ones that have been recommended to me, again in light of current events. No doubt all of them are relevant in some way to our current world, and reading (or rereading) them all over the next 4 years may provide some valuable extra insights and perspective.
