Books (finished)

• An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield.
• Understanding Distributed Systems: What every developer should know about large distributed applications by Roberto Vitillo. Highly recommend, great introduction to Distributed Systems.
• The Force by Don Winslow. Pretty solid novel.
• The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. I don't care if it's a YA novel, but I liked it!
• The Software Engineer's Guidebook by Gergely Orosz. It's all right.
• Hard Rain Falling by Don Carpenter. Was looking for something along the lines of Bukowski.
• Butcher's Crossing by John Williams. Western classic, beautiful language.
• Ghost in the Wires by Kevin Mitnick. Enjoyed it. Hacking just for the sake of it.
• Sandworm by Andy Greenberg. Zero-days and hackers — I liked it but wish there was more insight into the actual malware.
• The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu. Not too much of a sci-fi geek but it was a pretty good read.
