A few books I read for fun this year:
- Armada: Ernest Cline - Very disappointing and predictable
- Library of Souls: Ransom Riggs - Easy but engrossing book
- Ruby Under a Microscope: Pat Shaughnessy - I find his style of explaining things very accessible
- Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End: Atul Gawande - It's a hard subject to think about but helped me to understand that prolonging life and continuing treatment shouldn't necessarily be the end goal for every case.
- Go in Action: William Kennedy - A must if you're learning Go lang
- EliRivers 11y ago- Armada: Ernest Cline - Very disappointing and predictable ... but much improved (although still bad) if you take the interpretation that everything that happens after he almost beats someone's head in with a tire iron happens inside his head during his full-on psychotic break. You can push some of the earlier events into being clues towards that, mix in his father's conspiracy theory insanity for a genetic component, and then view everything that happens as purely a story he tells himself, fuelled by his obsession with eighties sf. It's a push, but it makes it a better book (although still pretty bad) :)
