The Book of Dragons by Edith Nesbit is listed instead of "the Dragon book"
I thought this was "the Dragon Book" Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools by Aho, Lam, and Sethi https://www.amazon.com/Compilers-Principles-Techniques-Tools...
The "modernized" version leaves out some fundamental parsing material.
Neat. I'm seeing a lot of overlap with books mentioned on r/reddit. I didn't realize, until know, how demographically similar hacker news and reddit are.
HN used to be a site for entrepreneurs to share ideas and work on things. Now the far left Reddit crowd has crashed it and anyone who has a successful business is just "lucky" and anyone who has earned wealth should have it stolen at gunpoint by the government to redistribute to those who don't produce anything.
I would love more people to know about science fiction strangecore author qntm: https://qntm.org/Self There Is No Antimemetics Division freaked me the hell out. Recommended.
This is just great! Thanks for building.
I once commented on HN how my favorite Sci Fi novel is Accelerando and the author, Charles Stross, replied to it suggesting I try his The Rapture of the Nerds he co-wrote with Cory Doctorow; I loved it when I read it too. I love HN - it's basically the only website I visit these days (aside checking mail, watching YouTube, and gardening my GitHub repositories).

Harry Potter apparently either the best book to read or the one with the most for engineers to learn from, I have to conclude.
Edit:the French edition of the Vorkosigan Saga has denfitively the wrong author https://hackernews-readings-613604506318.us-west1.run.app/
