Designing data-intensive applications

one of the most original book, and probably the best one by Stephenson. Very original ideas, mind expanding.

I finally read Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged) Fully worth the hype.

this book raised the standard for possibly all SciFi book that I will read in the future. Extremely original and grand ideas.

I started The Brothers Karamazov four times through the years

the brother's karamazov by dostoyevsky

I’m going through the rest of the book of the new sun now.

I am currently listening to "The Hobbit" audiobook narrated by Andy Serkis. This is peak audiobook for me.

Project Hail Mary is very good. All of Weir’s stuff is good.

Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary

I tried to read Anna Karenina again. Maybe in a few decades more I'll like that one too.

The 3-body problem trilogy (Rememberance of the Earth's past).

I like the book for attempting at presenting one.

Crafting Intepreters, by Robert Nystrom. I didn't realise how simple it can be to design a simple programming language.
