Algorithms to live by. It has very good insights and I think I'll be revisiting it when making big life decisions
"Designing your life" is also great.

#92Guilty pleasure: I just finished the final book in the horus heresy series (warhammer 40k), and impulsively restarted the series from book 1 again. Its making me sad because I know what all these characters are going to go through again over next 64 books. But I highly recommend the book "Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed" by Ben R. Rich and Leo Janos https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/101438
Nice to see another 40K reader. Recently I realised there are new Inquisitor books so I binged Penitent. Felt like reuniting with old friends. On to The Magos now, I usually get my Black Library fix from bundles, but I might make an exception for this one.
oooh, "new Inquisitor books" ?
Will have to go have a look.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, so far, its helped make things a bit easier for me to understand. I've also read "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" by Al Sweigart, which as someone with a non-CS background, I found very helpful, even when going back as a reference.
Maybe you chose the proper books. I had a terrible experience with them.
That's entirely plausible. The next No Starch published book I read may also be terrible. But, I try to recommend what I can (that I've read) and allow readers (present and future) to make their own judgements.
Best case scenario, you've found a new resource. Worse case scenario, you learn what works for you.
