My year-end book list - CBS News (MoneyWatch) Each year I publish for my friends the list of books I read over the past year, along with my personal ratings. There are a few books I'd like to highlight: My favorite book from this year's list, and now one of my all-time favorites is Gregory David Roberts' "Shantaram," a powerful story of human redemption For those interested in human behavior, a must-read is Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" For those interested in economic history, Liaquat Ahamed's "The Lords of Finance" is a must read For history fans, three great reads are Candice Millard's "The River of Doubt," Erik Larson's "In the Garden of Beasts" and S.C. Gwynne's "Empire of the Summer Moon" For sports fans, especially those with ties to New York, Harvey Araton's "When the Garden Was Eden" is a great read. Also, "Scorecasting" by Tobias Moskowitz and L. Jon Wertheim is excellent for those interested in sabermetrics.
