Currently I am reading these two books:
- The Code Breaker. A book about DNA, RNA, gene theraphy and gene editing. It also touches on mRNA vaccines. I found it very interesting and relatively easy to follow, even though I know nothing about the field of genetics. One should read it, even if it's just for the sole purpose of expanding thier general knowledge.
- The Art of Invisibility. A book written by a hacker on how to be online without leaving traces. The content is easy to follow but I personally find it tought to stomach. I think this book should be read by everyone concerned with their online presence and privacy.

Finishing up rereading the first trilogy in the Mistborn series
and also loosely making my way through a Stormlight Archive reread as well
On a Brandon Sanderson kick these days I guess 😅
I love Brandon's books. I really enjoyed Warbreaker and Elantris, but haven't started Mistborn or Stormlight Archives. I've heard those are his best sagas 😮
Yesss - absolutely loved Warbreaker. I haven't read Elantris yet but I just picked it up over the weekend and am super excited to get into it later this month
Mistborn was a little easier than SA to get into but only because SA is massive lol I highly recommend both series if you ever get a chance!
Brandon Sanderson is the man. I'm just about to start latest SA. Epic fantasy!
Enjoy! Very solid book ahead of you (figuratively and literally because it's a great book and also huge) 😎
I recently read The Founders, which is the story of PayPal. I found it to be an enjoyable read.
This book leaned pretty hard on being about the story of the collective and not so much the notorious individuals. Interestingly, I also recently read the biography on Peter Thiel called The Contrarian which paints the whole PayPal thing in a much more "Thiel-esque" hardcore libertarianism.
Both books are what they are and good all around reads. I'd recommend them, with the caveat of advising people: Don't worship these people and don't worship tycoons in general. 🥲
I added "The Founders" on my reading list, thank you for mentioning it. So many intesting books, so little time to read 😁.
I'm reading The Phoenix Project and I'm enjoying every page.
The only thing that makes me sad is the fact that I did not read is before :-|

Totally agree! I read that book on a very long train trip and it was packed with insights.
The book is actually based on a more Factory-focused book that shares similar lessons: The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt
I normally read non-fiction, not-related-to-tech books. Funny enough, I picked back a book from Walter Isaacson called The Innovators. It's the only tech-related one that I've read but it's highly recommended for all us devs & techies.
"The code breaker" was my first Walter Isaacson book and I really liked his style. I will add "The innovators" on my list since, like you said, it's tech related. Thx for the recommendation.
In these days I am reading Dale Carnagies book collection.👩🏻🏫
I completed "The Lean Startup" last week,
Today I am starting "whose samosa is it anyways" a book which explore Indian regional culture from perspective of Samosa, a popular Indian snack.
P.S.
I am looking for a fiction, mystery-adventure book for reading next week, Something that is contained in one book, not a part of series. So suggestions are welcomed.
Coding interview university it's a github repo containing informations about algorithms and data structures
For some historic perspective, and some classic sci-fi, I would recommend the There Will Be War collection edited by Jerry Pournelle, one of the great sci-fi writers of the time. From the original Ender's Game to treaties on nuclear war, all the way up to modern day. It's good to remember where we came from.
For taking along to travel, though, I'm going to plug my own book, Throng: Going Station to Station -- A train traveling band novel set in a futuristic furry universe:
I'm self-publishing through Amazon for print and e-book, and others for e-book. If you pick it up, I hope you enjoy it! I'm working on a sequel novel through Patreon. Details are on the band's site.
I'm reading "The Books of Jacob" by Olga Tokarczuk; she's such a world treasure and I encourage everyone to find her books and read them. Why? Because they highlight the human condition, in all of its flawed yet brilliant moments.
The Books of Jacob is an epic historical novel by Olga Tokarczuk, published by Wydawnictwo Literackie in October 2014. It is Tokarczuk's ninth novel and is the product of extensive historical research, taking her seven years to write.
Will check out The Code breaker, thanks for the insight.
Currently reading Maximizing Your Potential by Dr. Myles Munroe and Born To Win by Zig Ziglar.
I really enjoyed Shoe Dog, the memoire from Nike founder Phil Knight.
I'm reading "Money Master The Game" by Tony Robbins as I want to get more into investing.
It is - The Phoenix Project. Quite an interesting book for any age. Recently I was wondering what intersectionality is, so I decided to use edubirdie.com/examples/intersectio... for that. In principle, I understand what it is and what it is eaten with. But I would like to read another book about it. To consolidate the information.
I'm reading the whole Wheel of Time saga this year. I'm on book three and totally enjoying it 🧐
Thanks for writing this.
