#38I struggle to stay interested in one book until the end because many books that are designed to teach you something have made their point in the first chapter and then spend the rest of the book hammering it in.

Also have these opened:
- The Hobbit
- A Philosophy of Software Design
- Bhagavad GitaRe: Ask HN: What are you reading these days?
