Ask HN: Which book are you reading these days?

Here's my 'reading blog': http://davids-book-reviews.blogspot.it/

Currently working my way through Thiel's book. It's not bad if you haven't read it yet.

i binge buy from amazon and i have eclectic tastes - i don't have a tv and i don't like reading from electronic devices YMMV. Looking up at my bookcase shelf: Triumph of the City - Glaus, Time Enough for Love - Heinlein, We The Navigators, Strength to Love - Martin Luther King, The Filmmakers Handbook, Schaums's Mathematica, Other People's Wars - Hager, What if?, The Fiery Trial, The Difference Engine, Robert's Rules of Order, The Swerve.

This should take me a couple months.

Currently reading a few, including:

- The Good Spy - Kai Bird (Robert Ames bio)

- Becoming Steve Jobs - Brent Schlender (after reading Isaacson's Jobs' bio I figured another perspective wouldn't be horrible)

- Countdown to Zero Day - Kim Zetter (RE: Stuxnet and cyber-espionage)

And finally, I'm re-reading The Accidental Guerrilla by David Kilcullen (something of a social science approach to "Why do rebels/guerrillas/terrorists exist?")

Just finished Nate Silver's "The Signal and The Noise". Interesting collection of prediction case studies, seeing what can and can't be effectively predicted. Good for correcting black-and-white thinking.

Currently reading "Naples 44", diary of an intelligence officer there just after the US landings. The author is classically trained enough to immediately fall in love with the place despite the war, so it's a strange mix of lounging around Paestum and the stark effects of war.

Next in queue: pick one to re-read from Iain M Banks or Pratchett.

(Presumably Clausewitz is in your reading list somewhere as well; his book is unfinished but contains both good quotes to mine and real insight into how few military problems are about actual fighting itself.)

Not sure how I missed it - Reading "Ready Player One". Can't wait for the movie, currently in talks with Spielberg behind the camera.
