5 Best Books I Read in 2016

Here’s a list of the five best books I read in 2016. By best, I do not mean I agree with everything in the books. Rather, I mean, I found the books thought provoking and helpful in stimulating my own thinking. Not all of the books were published in 2016 but I read each volume for the first time in 2016. The books will be listed alphabetically.
