Learning of the affections that Gates and Buffett have for this title, the business press has fallen similarly in love with the book. We put together a list of takeaways, while Slate quipped that "Business Adventures" is "catnip for billionaires."

Back in 1991, Gates asked Buffett what his favorite book was. To reply, Buffett sent the Microsoft founder his personal copy of "Business Adventures," a collection of New Yorker stories by John Brooks. Though the anecdotes are from half a century ago, the book remains Gates' favorite. Gates says that the book serves as a reminder that the principles for building a winning business stay constant. He writes: For one thing, there's an essential human factor in every business endeavor.

For Gates, Borlaug is a model in getting important work done in the world. "Borlaug was one-of-a-kind," he says, "equally skilled in the laboratory, mentoring young scientists, and cajoling reluctant bureaucrats and government officials." Hesser's "The Man Who Fed the World" lets you peer into the personality that saved a billion lives. 7. 'Business Adventures: Twelve Classic Tales from the World of Wall Street' by John Brooks

"Although a lot of people have never heard of Borlaug, he probably saved more lives than anyone else in history," Gates says. "It's estimated that his new seed varieties saved a billion people from starvation," many of whom were in India and Pakistan. Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal for his efforts — and is one of only seven people to do so.

Even though Gates can get a meeting with almost anyone, he can't land a sit-down with Norman Borlaug, the late biologist and humanitarian who led the "Green Revolution" — a series of innovations that kept a huge chunk of humanity from starving.

This isn't just ivory-tower theory. Gates says the book has affected his humanitarian work. "As I'm someone who's fairly optimistic in general," he says, "the book struck a chord with me and got me to thinking about some of our foundation's strategies." 6. 'The Man Who Fed the World' by Leon Hesser

Sir, due to illiteracy and ignorance, poor are not getting exact benefits and information about govt. schemes facilities. Our country has produced lots of engineers and doctors.Now we must produce people who can serve the poors and address our Civic needs professionally.We can do this by teaching Civics as a full fledged course in our schools and college,just like Science and Arts. Even , Digital India can be a guiding star for integrating poor and needy in implementing government schemes.

In "Better Angels," Harvard cognitive scientist Steven Pinker branches out into the history of the most contentious of subjects: violence. Gates says it's one of the most important books he's ever read. "Pinker presents a tremendous amount of evidence that humans have gradually become much less violent and much more humane," he says, in a trend that started thousands of years ago and continued until this day.

The politics of fighting financial crises will always be ugly. But it helps if the public knows a little more about the subject." "Stress Test" provides that knowledge. 5. 'The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined' by Steven Pinker
