I'm halfway through 3 books:
And in the backlog for 2021 (among others):
That, and a TON of comic books and graphic novels (mainly "Something is killing the children")... but I don't know if those count.
Every book I purchased in 2020 and still haven't read 😂
Me included, that's about 14 books
Out of curiousity, does this delay your book reading process or is buying books more like a physical reading list?
I actually bought eBooks, of which I think is the reason why I've had a tough time finishing a single one. Its so easy switching to another app when reading, and that is very distracting. I wish I had access to hard copies from my purchases or either a dedicated ereader
These are on my list, I'm halfway through some of them:
You got the new (2nd) edition of "Head First Design Patterns" ?
I have the 1st. edition on my bookshelf, considering upgrading it, since it is a book and topic you can always refresh.
If you need more pattern literature, "Design Patterns Explained" is recommendable.
I love the Head First series, I don't understand why they're not making new ones.
Me too!
I love that series too! I learned Java from only reading Head First Java and practicing the code written in it.
I don't read novels as much as I used to as I find I end up staying up to late and not able to do much more than read. So my list currently consists of a single book:
The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin.
I'm a hard sci-fi guy, and this is one of the "newer" options available that I keep hearing about. Been sitting on it for when I have a large chunk of time to read it. :)
I purposely didn't buy the sequels yet so I have to wait between reading them.
Just got this one for Christmas. Only fiction book on my list currently
My GoodReads total last year was 146, and while about a third of that was graphic novels, there were a lot of doorstops from Brandon Sanderson, Neal Stephenson, etc, so I'm aiming for shorter reading experiences this year. Top of my list right now is:
Nice list, I really need to consume "Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby" at some point
These are some for the first part of 2021:
Have heard a lot about "Atomic Habits", I think I need to check it out
Good list by @simonholdorf to kick this off 📚👍
Thanks for the mention :)
Hi !
I want to learn this year all that i could about security, bug bounty, hacking ...
I began yesterday a course in udemy , and when I finish i will begin to start reading books (that I already have) about it :)
Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World
by Clive Thompson
The Creativity Code: How AI Is Learning to Write, Paint and Think
The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race
A Promised Land by Barack Obama
"Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World by Clive Thompson" is on my list too
I've just started watching "The Expanse" TV series, and I always try to read the books behind the series I watch, which means I started reading "Leviathan Wakes" by James Corey (and only after discovered it's a collection of many titles, so maybe that'll be it for 2021 :D). But, in case I don't really like it, next on the list are: "The Book of Delights" by Ross Gay, "Nomadland" by Jessica Bruder, "The Tyranny of Merit" by Michael Sandel, "Between the World and me" by Ta-nehisi Coates, "The Refusal of Work" by David Frayne. It's always a growing list, that will probably change very soon, especially after I read all the comments in this discussion!
(That last one is just for fun. I am Indian. 😜️)
This list is for the first few months of the year. I’ll figure out the rest as I go.
Currently reading "How to Be An Antiracist" by Ibram X. Kendi and "My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending our Hearts and Bodies" by Resmaa Menakem
But will read:
"The Skin We're In" by Desmond Cole
"A Mind Spread Out On the Ground" by Alicia Elliott
"Moon of the Crusted Snow" by Waubgeshing Rice
"Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change" by Ellen Pao
and lastly, "Together" by Dr. Vivek Murthy!
My tech/business specific list as of now:
Some of the books I'm going to read this year:
Right now I'm reading What Does This Button Do?: An Autobiography by Bruce Dickinson which is not a bad book for those like Iron Maiden plus rock stars who can do more than partying around. I'm proofreading C++20 - Get The Details by Rainer Grimm - a great - and still improving - book if you want to learn more about C++20.
