Ask HN: Recommend one book I need to read this summer?

I picked up a copy of SICP [0] and started reading through and working through every-single-problem.

I am preparing to read it this summer. But this book is going to be big project to read and understand for me

A beautiful multidisciplinary dive into number theory, self-reference, consciousness art and much more. It's written in the spirit of Lewis Carroll. Really enjoying it right now

Recently finished this, I enjoyed it a lot but I admit it's not... quite what I expected with the heavy religious aspect of the book.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, SF from 1992.

I totally second the recommendation, though.

my favourite sci-fi is always likely to be Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson.

Aurelius’s meditations (powerful self-reflections not meant for publication)

I would recommend Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (Hays Translation)

"Meditations by Marcus Aurelius"

I found “Sapiens” absolutely fascinating and incredibly dense in information.

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy What's better than to have a good laugh, even if already read it, is always a nice book.

I read it and I'm so glad I did

I can recommend all discworld books.

2) night watch/ making money / going postal - terry pratchett Fun stories with full characters.

Masters of Doom is such a fun, good book.

I read Brothers Karamazov some years ago and I find impressive how I still think about it regularly.

They all have incredible characters, deep thoughts, delicious language.

6) harry potter, obviously :)
