    Many of my friends have shared their reading lists of all the books they read in 2014 (thank you!) -- this gave me some excellent ideas of books to read for 2015.

    So I have decided to share my reading list well, and the list of books I plan to read in 2015. If you have any ideas for additional books, I'd love them (especially in the topic areas of business, finance, nonfiction).
