Sarah Wynn-Williams · 2025 · Buy on Amazon

"My first pick is Sarah Wynn-Williams's book Careless People. It's a great example of the Streisand effect that when a company tries to suppress something, it brings it interest."

Little Bosses Everywhere: The American Pyramid Scheme

Bridget Read · 2025 · Buy on Amazon

"My second choice is a book by Bridget Read. It's a book called Little Bosses Everywhere — a history of the American pyramid scheme. An incredibly illuminating, beautifully researched book."

Jules, Penny, and the Rooster

"It's funny. It's mad cap. It's gonzo. It's full of heart. It is like everything great about a kids book. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
