I'm trading in $52 worth of old books to Amazon. Of that, $32 will be used for a necessity; the other $20 will be partitioned, and I think I can get a good feel for how valuable my prospective picks might be by holding the discussion to that $20 limit and helping me pick the best thing.
First up, startup and business books. Lean Startup, 4-Hour Workweek, etc. How valuable are these? Is there any with truly novel advice that I couldn't find anywhere else? Does anyone have one book they'll evangelize over the others, and good reasons to get it?
Then there's the fiction. First, The Expanse. I loved Leviathan Wakes, burned through it fast, and was thinking about getting Caliban's War. Or maybe I could start The Stormlight Archives and grab The Way of Kings. Or maybe I should begin The Wheel of Time and pick up The Eye of the World.
The two fantasy books could easily fit in the $20 total, so it'd be 1 business book vs Caliban's War vs 2 fantasy novels. Thoughts?
