We’re sure you’ll agree there’s nothing quite as magical as getting lost in a good book. When we’re not crunching numbers and analysing player data, the team here at Future Anthem can often be found reading.
As part of Book Lover’s Day 2023, we wanted to share with you a truly eclectic list of some of our team’s recommended reads.
This countdown of 30 incredible titles has been comprised by members of the Future Anthem workforce, who have each shared their favourite titles for you to enjoy at your leisure.
As mentioned, this list has it all… If you’re looking for an insightful read then perhaps Francesc Miralles’ Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, or Greg McKeown’s Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most is for you.
Perhaps you’re after something a little more to the point? In that case check out Ankur Warikoo’s Do Epic Shit or Derren Brown’s Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine.
If you want to immerse yourself in a classic tale our list features George Orwell’s 1984 and Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. Contemporary stories include Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner and The Word Is Murder by legendary novelist and screenwriter Anthony Horowitz.
Need an easy read? Andrew Agassi’s Autobiography OPEN or Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s frontman Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue are sure-fire hits.
Whatever it is you like to read, we guarantee that there’s at least one book on this list that you’ll truly love, so why not take a look below and pick a title to start the new year with?
