The best book published in 2017 for me is this one:

"A Man for All Markets: From Las Vegas to Wall Street, How I Beat the Dealer and the Market" by Edward O. Thorp

1) The Stories of Ibis by Hiroshi Yamamoto (my almost-annual re-reading)

2) The Collapsing Empire - John Scalzi

3) The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood

I have a feeling the book I am reading now - Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith might have been on this list if I had finished it (and might still be tomorrow).

If you read most of it in 2017 I say it still counts. Nice to see some fiction on here, these lists are almost always non fiction and make me feel uneducated because I read almost exclusively fiction

1) De Vita Beata ("On the Happy Life") - Seneca

2) Shoe Dog - Phil Knight

3) Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman! - Richard Feynman

No. 1 is a bit of a tricky read but completely worth it in my opinion, never have I read anything that has changed my everyday mindset so much.
