Pondering on your next read? A group of TED speakers and TED-Ed educators gave recommendations for TED’s “50 books to read in 2016” list; it features several different genres such as biography, fiction, and science.
According to the TED-ED blog post, some of the contributors include blogger Ann Morgan, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay, and The Terrorist’s Son author Zak Ebrahim. Morgan suggested American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Isay praised Trashed by Derf Backderf, and Ebrahim endorsed My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass.
In the past, a number of writers have delivered presentations on the TED stage. Follow these links to hear talks by New Yorker copy editor Mary Norris, Big Magic author Elizabeth Gilbert, and Newbery Honor winner Grace Lin.
