25 Books Everybody Should Read, According to TED Speakers

Back in May, just after the main TED event, the TED blog rounded up an incredible list of all the titles recommended from the stage this year. It was enough to fill up most people's to-read queue for months to come.
But if you've finally gotten through all the titles that interested you back then, and your shelves (or e-reader) are starting to look a little bare, don't worry. TED is riding to the rescue again.
In preparation for the holidays, the organization asked its speakers for more recommendations for books to either give or enjoy this winter. They came through with an incredible 56 suggestions. Here are some of the best picks that will be of interest to non-niche readers, broken down into fiction and nonfiction sections.
