Excluded

Further to the 10 books that I mentioned, there are another few that are influential to me personally, but they were not included yesterday because they do not fulfill one criteria or another.

Here you go:
  1. The Book of Genesis from the Holy Bible
  2. Border Town (邊城) by Shen Congwen (沈從文)
  3. Galaxy Express 999 (銀河鉄道999) by Leiji Matsumoto (松本零士)
  4. The Murder of Roger Ackyrod by Agatha Christie
  5. The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (笑傲江湖) by Jin Yong (金庸) 
  6. Lateral Thinking by Edward de Bono
  7. The Complete Yes Minister by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn
  8. Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd
  9. The Art of Strategy by Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff
  10. Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick
To keep the record straight, I do not keep a copy of items #1, #2, #6, and #8. I watched #3 as TV series but not really the book. Items #4, #5, and #7 are influential but mostly for fun; #9 is less stunning when placed next to the masterpiece of Kahneman, while the scope of #10 is not as wide as the others.
