I'm currently reading mathematics and physics for programmers the second edition by John P. Flent and Danny kodicek.
It's a big 600+ page book but what I read so far is amazing.
Now I can make a program that solve my homework 😂

The Quiet American is great.
The Berlin game is the first in a trilogy so it’s a lot of setup.

Do you mean LoTR? I tried reading the hobbit as a kid but go side tracked. I'm not a fantasy fan. It really comes down to that in the time I can struggle to finish one book, I can read four books I'm into. The times that Ive fallen out of love with reading were the times I was forcing a book.

I read the book The Lord of the Rings. Now I'm going to reread it for the second time. I'm just thrilled with this book. Tolkien is just a genius.

I read the book The Lord of the Rings. Now I'm going to reread it for the second time. I'm just thrilled with this book. Tolkien is just a genius. That's the reason why forums dedicated to him exist. The best one is thetolkienforum.com/wiki/Black-Gate. They have the information about all of his characters, and it's the place where I learned the most about this world.
Most people only watch movies, but you should read the books too to realize how good the books are. Tolkien managed to create an awesome universe and a few languages with grammar btw.

Sartre's Nausea. I've had a copy kicking around for years but it never made it to the top of the list until now.

Right now I'm reading Florian Cramer's Words Made Flesh, a "cultural history of imaginative computation".

I did! It's dense but short so it never becomes a chore, and while existentialism's heyday has come and gone it's not wholly irrelevant either.

The last book I read was "Google's ZMOT Handbook", it was pretty interesting and I believe it's worth giving it a read! (It is short also, I read it in a day). Now I want to read "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by Frank Baum.

I've been a fan of Paul Anthony Jones following on from his Extinction Point series, but his recent trilogy is This Alien Earth and I've just stormed through the two that are published. Very sci-fi oriented, but I found them hugely compelling.
