I loved the first book which I've reread many times

Snowcrash, which I found to be quite good as well.

It's one of those books that gives you a different perspective every time you read it

"The Soul of a New Machine" (Tracy Kidder)

I would say that I'm better off for having read both The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness.

Good read nonetheless. Crazy imaginative.

which I thought was an important read in spite of how unlikeable I find the author, how long the book is, and how tangled up the ideas are.

This book is a wonderful book that anticipates the present future.

Crafting Interpreters. Would recommend this to people curious about compilers/Interpreters over the dragon book. Much much easier to read.

Children of Time and Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky for almost making me care about non-anthropomorphic spiders.

Why We Sleep is really good. It really changed my view on sleep.

I just read antifragile and while I like the ideas I can't imagine how insufferable the author is in person
