Ask HN: What are you reading? (November 2026)

1•marai2•8m ago
I miss the serendipity of finding interesting new books when there used to be more bookstores with bigger selections of books. Maybe we can use HN to fulfill that function. Maybe we can do a monthly "What are you reading?" ask-HN, and do it in the middle of the month since we already have (What are you working on? Who wants to be hired, etc) on the 1st of the month.

So please share a recommendation if you're reading something interesting, doesn't necessarily have to be new, could be any topic not just techy stuff. I think we can surface interesting books to read and the serendipty of finding new books that we would not have known about.

The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros

It's a bit dense and obtuse, but I think more people should read it. Too many people, esp in the US, dogmatically believe that the less regulated a market is, the more fundamentally efficient it and its allocation of resources are.
