Napoleon 拿破仑传 by Vincent Cronin

Larry Ellison is the present CEO of Oracle. Though a number of books are among his ‘like’ list but he absolutely loved reading ‘Napoleon’ by Vincent Cronin. This book is deemed by far the best biography ever written on the great general, Napoleon Bonaparte. This book is so eloquently written that it seems almost like a novel. Ellison quotes, "It's interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons: to see what one man of modest birth can do with his life, and to see how history can distort the truth entirely."

拉里-埃里森是甲骨文公司的现任CEO。尽管他有很多“喜欢”的书，但他最爱的还是温森特-克罗宁的《拿破仑传》。这本书被认为是所有描写拿破仑的传记中写得最好的一本，更像是一本小说。埃里森评价道，“《拿破仑传》这本书读起来很有趣的原因有好几个：能看到一个出生平庸的人一生能有何作为以及历史是如何完全扭曲事实的。”

Winfrey quotes, "I remember reading this book and then going to class and not being able to shut up about it." She further says, "I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to push the book off on other kids. So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that since probably this book."

奥普拉-温弗瑞是她自己开办温弗瑞电视网络公司的CEO。她最爱的书籍是哈珀-李的《杀死一只知更鸟》。这本书以一个小女孩的视角来看待她周围的人。温弗瑞在曾说过：“我记得以前读这本书，然后去学校上课就一个劲不停地讨论书中的故事。我大概是在八、九年级读的，然后一直在给其他同学推荐这本书。所以说，现在我主持读书会也是很有道理的，因为我可能从这本书开始就学会给别人推荐了。”
