尽管这些话题未必等同于“海滩轻松读本”,盖茨还是鼓励大家读一读。盖茨在其官方博客“盖茨笔记”上发布他的推荐书单时写道,他的理念是“在旅途中宁可多读也不少读”。

以下是盖茨推荐的五本书:
Upheaval, Jared Diamond
《剧变》(贾里德·戴蒙德)
Gates has long been a fan of Diamond’s books, and notes that 1997’s Guns, Germs, and Steel is one of the best books he’s ever read. In Upheaval, Diamond examines how people react to the different crises in their lives. Specifically, Diamond looks at how six countries responded to big challenges, and learned how to adapt in the face of adversity. “It sounds a bit depressing,” Gates writes. “But I finished the book even more optimistic about our ability to solve problems than I started.”
盖茨一直是戴蒙德作品的粉丝。他说,1997年的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》是他读过的最优秀作品之一。在《剧变》一书中,戴蒙德探讨了人们如何应对生活中的各种危机。具体而言,戴蒙德检视了六个国家如何应对重大挑战并在逆境面前学会适应。盖茨写道:“这听起来有点压抑,但读完这本书后,我对我们解决问题的能力比刚开始读的时候更加乐观了。”
Nine Pints, Rose George
《九品脱》(罗丝·乔治)
