At this point of life, I only read tech / tech related books. I would like to read something else. Please send me your recommendations!
Ratings
Books I marked ** maybe the worst book to you, because I read in the time I most needed and got inspired. A book needs to read by you at the right time. A book you need at age of 19 is not the same as when you're 49. Other people's best books maybe worst book of yours, because you already read other good ones.
