Right now I'm reading Chris Voss's Never Split the Difference. It has some amazing negotiating tips, and I've had some luck already. The downside is that a lot of those tips come down to "learn to control your emotions", which I struggle with.

Since you asked for fiction, my recent favorite is Yaa Gyasi's incredible Homegoing: A Novel.

Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi takes place in Ghana. It starts in the 1700s, and each chapter of the novel is narrated from the perspective of a descendant of either Effia (who marries at British colonizer) or Esi (who is sold into slavery), one representative for each generation, and the two bloodlines alternate up to the present day.

Other books we discussed were books that Redditors had recently read or were planning to read:

The Snow Child

Purple Hibiscus

For We Are Many and All These Worlds Volumes 2 and 3 of the Bobiverse (and it wasn't me who mentioned it, smartass).

October

Silver Sparrow

Hidden Figures

The Glass Castle: A Memoir

And Danger-Moose mentioned The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, and he had completed The Gone-Away World, which a lot of us were not able to do.

Jbcoll04 suggested Homegoing: A Novel by Yaa Gyasi a couple of posts ago, and I don't want to lose track of that, because both me and darr76 want to read that at some point.

So, be thinking about our next choice. I'm definitely going to read October, Homegoing, and I'll try Volume 2 of the Bobboverse.

All sound great, though Gone-Away World gets my vote. I would also throw out this one, sounds really interesting (from the Stanford incoming freshman reading list description at least): Homegoing: A Novel by Yaa Gyasi
