These are my favorites for this year. Fiction: "Wool" and "Shift" (by Hugh Howey) - Fell in love with this series when the TV show debuted on Apple TV. I just had to read the book to find out what happens next. Still need to read the third book in the series. Non-Fiction: Algorithms to Live By (Brian Christian and Tom Griffith) - An interesting take on how to apply algorithms to regular day-to-day living. Crucial Conversations (Kerry Patterson et. al) - A good primer on how to have difficult conversations The Effective Engineer (Edmond Lau) - This book provided me a good framework on how to be more effective at prioritizing my work. Programming Phoenix LiveView (Bruce A. Tate and Sophie DeBenedetto) - I found this very helpful for getting acquainted with Phoenix and LiveView.
