<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/34423838.cms" /> The <keyword id="2219970" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="World-Book-Night">World Book Night</keyword> (now in its fourth year and coincides with the <keyword id="2219971" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="UNESCO-International-Day-of-the-Book">UNESCO International Day of the Book</keyword>) came and went, but did it impact our life in any way? In the UK, 20 titles were selected and thousands of those <keyword id="5050" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="books">books</keyword> were given away for free on the night of <keyword id="6460904" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="April-23">April 23</keyword> to inspire people who “haven’t yet been turned on” to reading. A quick look at the list had us pleasantly surprised. It included the works of <keyword id="210859" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Agatha-Christie">Agatha Christie</keyword>, <keyword id="17397" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Jeffrey-archer">Jeffrey Archer</keyword>, <keyword id="324611" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="John-Grisham">John Grisham</keyword>, <keyword id="241349" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Roald-Dahl">Roald Dahl</keyword>, <keyword id="1367712" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Andy-McNab">Andy McNab</keyword> and others – mostly popular stuff that may actually drive reluctant readers back to the age-old habit of reading. 
 And that brings another startling fact to the forefront. If reading less is a global malady, men could be suffering more from it than their female counterparts. No, we are not getting gender-biased here. The findings came from a survey commissioned by the <keyword id="2219978" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Reading-Agency">Reading Agency</keyword> and conducted by <keyword id="2219982" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="OnePoll">OnePoll</keyword>. According to the report, researchers from OnePoll spoke to 2,000 British men and <keyword id="624" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Women">women</keyword> ahead of the World Book Night and it was found that 75% of the men would watch the big screen version of a story, instead of reading the original book. In fact, 30% of the men said they had not read a book after their school days. 
 But in spite of all the statistics, reading does change one’s life. They say everyone can write at least one classic – their own life story. Surprisingly enough, we have one such book in our April list – the <keyword id="2219985" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Posthumous-collection">posthumous collection</keyword> of <keyword id="642178" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Essays">essays</keyword> and <keyword id="851600" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="short-stories">short stories</keyword> by a young <keyword id="2219988" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Yale-graduate">Yale graduate</keyword> that has gone viral and read by at least 1.4 million people across 98 countries. That gives us great hope that books (in any format) will never become obsolete. Browse through our list of seven wonder works – analytical, inspirational, <keyword id="820033" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="sublime">sublime</keyword>, but essentially a <keyword id="6374782" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="journey">journey</keyword> towards a changing world order, a look into the changing times.

Dianne McKeever, Kim Posnett, and Brad Katsuyama ranked 19th, 16th, and 15th, respectively, this year. And while they all work in finance, each of their careers is at least tangentially related to the startup or technology worlds.We should also note that a number of influencers from the fintech, or financial technology, spheres ranked on this year's list. They include Betterment's CEO and cofounder, Jon Stein; PayPal's global head of product and engineering, Bill Ready; and Vitalik Butern, the creator of the blockchain-based platform Ethereum.<h2>Meet this year's most infuential financiers</h2>Dianne McKeever, 38, manages the activist hedge fund Ides Capital, which launched a successful campaign to boost Boingo Wireless' value earlier this year. <a href="http://fortune.com/2016/09/22/hedge-fund-activist-investor-dianne-mckeever-40-under-40/">Fortune calls</a> McKeever "the only woman running an activist hedge fund shaking up US companies."Kim Posnett, 39, is the only person to make the cut from banking. She is Goldman Sachs' global cohead of internet investment banking. Posnett led Etsy's 2015 IPO and Demandware's purchase of Salesforce earlier this year, <a href="http://fortune.com/40-under-40/kim-posnett-16/">according to Fortune</a>. Before joining Goldman Sachs in 2005, she had a short career in acting in Hollywood, according to her bio.Brad Katsuyama, 38, is the top-ranking finance influencer this year. He is the cofounder and CEO of America's newest stock exchange, IEX Group, which features in Michael Lewis' book "Flash Boys." Before founding his trading platform, Katsuyama, who is Canadian, was global head of electronic sales and trading at the Royal Bank of Canada. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/joseph-stiglitz-rates-janet-yellens-performance-fed-chair-qe-wealth-inequality-inflation-hawks-2016-9">Nobel prize-winning economist Stiglitz rates Yellen's performance as Fed chair</a></h3> <div> <div> <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/v3/6e12e8b3387a44daacfb73afba25a76e"></script> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="VucDkxNjE66X74L1OOrOS0f69DVt3jLC" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> <script> if (typeof RunFunctions === 'undefined') { var RunFunctions = []; } RunFunctions.push(function() { var ooyalapopvideo = OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer_popvideo', 'VucDkxNjE66X74L1OOrOS0f69DVt3jLC',{ autoplay: 'false' }); }); </script> <noscript><div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div></noscript></div> </div> <script>(function() { function createPlayer() { OO.ready(function() { RunFunctions.forEach(function(ooyalaFunction) { ooyalaFunction(); }); RunFunctions = [];}); } createPlayer(); }()); </script> </div>
