Ask HN: What are you reading right now?

I would be reading it, if Jordan's estate hadn't requested delaying the ebook release by one year. Luckily Sanderson has intervened and the delay is only three months, but I'm still pissed. They could have at least communicated this to people, rather than allowing Amazon to accept ebook pre-orders. I would have paid the hardback price for the ebook to get it now, instead I'm waiting and sorely tempted to look for torrents.

I was reading Paulo Coelho's "The Winner Stands Alone" and I just left it midway, it's insufferable. I tried before "The Witch of Portobello" and I couldn't get past a few pages so I guess I'm done with this author.

Before that I just finished Clavell's Shogun and I liked it, I just wished I had read it when I was in my teens.

- Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein

- Zodiac by Neal Stephenson (rereading for the nth time)

- The E-Myth by Michael Gerber

Peter Seibel's Practical Common Lisp which is a really nice albeit long tutorial with interesting case studies.

Peter Norvig's Paradigms of AI Programming which is quite dense (in a good way) and extremely interesting.

I just bought and started the Land of Lisp for something light to pair with PAIP.

I'm also off-and-on reading Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (which needs no introduction), GEB (the same), and Coders At Work (which is humbling).

And Erik Larson's The Devil In The White City which is pretty entertaining.
