Ask HN: What was the latest book you read?

The best recent: Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamon.

The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson (recommended to all fantasy fans)

A decent history book, not exactly uplifting.

Halting State (cool)

Halting State, by Charles Stross, great for computer geeks

If your book list is empty, add Gödel, Escher, Bach to it before calling the function for the first time.

Absolutely loving it.

In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan (excellent

"A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by David Eggers. Ironic title, thoughtful and enjoyable book. Suggested.

'Create Your Own Economy' by Tyler Cowen - a good read.

Last Light by Andy McNab (awesome)

Started "The American Political Tradition" by Richard Hofstadter, pretty engaging history of our major politicians and founding fathers...

Check out "The Art of Software Security Assessment" if you're into that.
