11 books the world's most influential people think you should read

The world's most successful people still make time for a good book.

Earlier this year, Facebook asked 62 such people - from Arianna Huffington to Richard Branson to Newt Gingrich - for the books they'd recommend. More than 230 titles came Facebook's way.

After some careful tallying, the social-media site narrowed down the most recommended books to a list of just 11 titles.

We can't guarantee they'll bring you the same level of success, but they'll move you in the right direction.
