"Some of these books helped me better understand what it’s like to grow up outside the mainstream," writes Gates. "As a child of mixed race in apartheid South Africa, as a young man trying to escape his impoverished life in rural Appalachia, or as the son of a peanut farmer in Plains, Georgia."
He continues, "I hope you’ll find that others make you think deeper about what it means to truly connect with other people and to have purpose in your life. And all of them will transport you somewhere else—whether you’re sitting on a beach towel or on your own couch."
Gates' summer reading list has become an annual tradition, and usually includes a mix of beautifully written fiction and thought-provoking nonfiction. In the past, he's recommended everything from The Gene, an intimate look at DNA, by Siddhartha Mukherjee, to Thing Explainer, which unpacks complex concepts using only very simple words, by "xkcd" creator Randall Munroe.
Check out Gates' current favorites below.
