      The books I’ve read

      I am not a reader. I don’t really enjoy reading all that much. Blame on my parents, blame it on my generation, blame it on video games - your pick, but for every book I’ve read I have seen probably 50 movies and television shows. I doubt I’m alone on this one. But occasionally I do pick up a book and read it cover to cover.

      BooksOK, not always cover to cover. Sometimes cover to point of suck. Eitherway, I crack it with intensions of reading it. My books of choice are usually nerd books that relate to technology, since that’s what I do and that’s what I know. My other paperback vice is design books. I just like looking at these because it gives me tons of ideas to copy, borrow, steal, and reuse.

      I wouldn’t call my reading entertainment. Very few of the books I read are fiction. Not that doesn’t mean I’m not entertained by a book, but I typically don’t pick up a book when I’m bored and need to kill time.

      Anyway, thought I might list some of the books I’ve read and actually enjoyed (or learned something). I’ve made an Amazon list that has the books in no particular order. I recommend all of them.

        Hi,
        I try to read at least two books a month - and publish the reviews of all stuff that I consider at least somewhat useful here:

        I read a lot. As a student, it is difficult to read things I want to though. Sometimes I feel guilty that, other than textbooks, I don’t really read many books on my occupation-to-be.

        Hi,
        as said - thats absolutely essential(IMHO, as essential as also trying to run a business sideways while studying)….you gotta find the time somehow - if needed, even at the cost of private life(IMHO)…

        Best regards
