I was just reading the Bill Gates Ask-Me-Anything on Reddit.

I found this question/answer interesting in light of last weeks assignment.

What do people give you for your birthday, given that you can buy anything you want?

Free software. Just kidding.

Books actually.

Oh! What's your favorite book?

Edit: A book recommendation from a billionaire. Cool! Thanks, Bill!

My favorite of the last decade in Pinker's Better Angels of our Nature. It is long but profound look at the reduction in violence and discrimination over time. I review a lot of the books I read at gatesnotes.com (is that too self-promotional? http://b-gat.es/12GKLyN)
