Boring choices this month though one may be useful and the other will raise your blood pressure:

Yonatan:

The White Coat Investor: A Doctor's Guide To Personal Finance And Investing

Dahle MD, James M

I know that you are a careful planner and both of you believe in saving. This book was written for all income levels of doctors from residents up to practising physicians. I know  you have a financial advisor but another perspective can't be bad.

Noam:

Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital

Fink, Sheri

As you live in NO, I think that this book is important. Your Mother is  reading it now and it is making her angry, which means it must be a good book. The absolute inability of the richest country in the world to think through a problem quickly and get help to its citizens within hours instead of days is a stain on the history of the US. If this had happened elsewhere, it is safe to say that people would be in jail but all we got was "well done Brownie!" The physicians involved had to make choices normally reserved for military situations during a battle. An improtant book.
