Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Issacson - fascinating look into the real life of Leonardo, demystifying the genius
Excession by Iain M Banks - a bit of a let down
Bluets by Maggie Nelson - lyrical and philosophical and explicit ruminations on the color blue
How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan - a lot of already known and rehashed info on psychedelics
Lost City of the Incas by Hirham Bingham - Yale professor who discovered Machu Pichu. Good history of the Incas and region
Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbuy - Classic!
2041 by Kim Stanley Robinson - NYC underwater in the future. A bit of a let down compared to his Mars series
Shiver by Junji Ito - short stories from the king of Japanese horror manga
Lenin: The man, the dictator, the master of terror by Victor Sebestyen - great bio on Vladimir Lenin. Knew very little about him before reading this. Fantastic!
Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville - definitive text book on Deep Learning
The Curse of Bigness by Tim Wu - interesting read into the history of Antitrust and the Sherman Act and how they relate to modern tech giants like Amazon, Google, Facebook
