2021年全球最佳商業圖書榜單出爐

Amazon last week announced the Best Books of the Year So Far, as chosen by the retailer’s books editorial team.

The roundup highlights the editorial team’s top 20 titles of the year so far—those published between January and June 2021—as well as top reads in literary fiction, mystery and thrillers, biography, children’s books, young adult titles, and more.

Many of the books chosen are also customer favorites and bestsellers, but sometimes the list includes titles that haven’t received much attention. Similar to recent popular lists on Goodreads (also owned by Amazon), this year’s results continue to demonstrate readers are gravitating toward more diverse sources.

“I see a real interest in FAANG-style companies—those books are everywhere—and also there’s a keener interest in equity and fairness with books like The Whiteness of Wealth and even Ron Lieber’s The Price You Pay for College,” says Amazon books editor Chris Schluep. “Looking forward, I am excited to read My Life in Full by the former Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi. That’s coming in the fall, and as the first immigrant and woman of color to run a big company like Pepsi, this is an important book that a lot of people are anticipating. Also, Ray Dalio has a new one publishing in November, The Changing World Order. That’s going to fuel a lot of conversations.”

As far as business is concerned, one might assume that career guides and other books about handling change might be popular at the moment given how many employees are making major career changes as the pandemic wanes in the United States. But that doesn’t appear to be the case yet, suggesting there could be a gap in what readers are looking for in this area.

“I was expecting to see more books about people making job and life changes after the pandemic,” Schluep tells Fortune. “Other than Katy Milkman’s How to Change, which is great, that hasn’t played out—yet.”
