    Just picked up a couple of Brandon Sanderson books from my local library. Gonna read them while on vacation...
    Haven't read them myself, but I've a friend who's a big fan.

    Personally, I just plowed through Randall Munroe's What If? and What If? 2. Gods bless XKCD.
    Cheap, fast, good. Pick two.
    They want us to read minds, I want read/write.

    • I'm currently reading "On A Sea of Glass, The Life and Loss of the RMS Titanic".
      Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

      • I should pick up the "What If" books--I love XKCD!

        I recently re-read "All Systems Red", the first Murderbot Diaries book, and have started on "System Collapse", the most recent one.
        “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
        One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
        The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

        • My partner recommended Kurt Vonnegut. I’m reading Cat’s Cradle now, which is weird and absurd and I love it.

          If I still like it at the end, I’m reading Breakfast of Champions next.

          "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."
