Ask HN: What books are you reading currently?
I've rekindled my interest in books and literature (general reading as opposed to technical/progrsmming books, I read quite a bit of the latter but have neglected the former for about a year) and was wondering what books are currently being read by the Hacker News community (fiction or non-fiction).
I have currently just started reading The Lean Startup by Eric Ries and Kingpin by Kevin Poulson. Both books have definitely captured my interest

I hope to apply things I learn from each of the books to future comments here on HN. Thanks for asking.
