Bill Gates' summer reading list
比尔·盖茨这个夏天的书单
Every year, Bill Gates dedicates two posts on his blog (in summer and in winter) to his personal reading recommendations. He has focused on a certain number of books each time, providing a brief overview of why each one has stood out for him. Starting in 2014, he even began recording short videos to go with his seasonal list (check them out, starting with the first one here—they are really fun). So far, between Summer 2012 and Summer 2020, there are over a hundred Bill Gates book recommendations.每年，比尔·盖茨都会在他的博客上（夏天和冬天）发表两篇文章，推荐他的个人阅读书目。他每次都会关注一定数量的书，简要概述为什么每一本书都能为他脱颖而出。从2014年开始，他甚至开始录制短视频来配合他在不同季节里给出的书单（看看吧，从第一本开始读，它们确实很有趣）。到目前为止，从2012年夏天到2020年夏天，比尔·盖茨的推荐书已经超过100本。Bill Gates' latest book list for his GatesNotes blog is the first since he and wife Melinda announced they're getting divorced, so some followers may be wondering if Gates is reading anything about divorce or co-parenting. If so, he's not sharing those titles. Although Gates says he finds himself reaching for books about a "complicated relationship," it's not one between divorcing spouses. Instead, the Microsoft co-founder chose "books about the complicated relationship between humanity and nature."比尔·盖茨在他的博客GatesNotes上的最新书单是他和妻子梅琳达宣布离婚后的第一本，因此一些追随者可能会怀疑盖茨是否读到了关于离婚或共同抚养子女的书。如果真是这样，那他一定没有晒出来这些书单。尽管盖茨说，他发现自己正在寻找有关“复杂关系”的书籍，但这并不是有关离婚配偶之间的关系。相反，这位微软联合创始人选择了“关于人类与自然之间复杂关系的书籍”。
