#18scifi: https://kirubakaran.com/bookshelf/columbus-day/ nonfic: https://kirubakaran.com/bookshelf/data-science-from-scratch/ fiction: https://kirubakaran.com/bookshelf/everyone-burns/ Here is my full list: https://kirubakaran.com/bookshelf/
For anyone looking for a DS primer, I have to say I was really disappointed with "Data Science from Scratch". It was all breadth with little depth. It felt more like a suggested list of topics to further research w/ other material. I personally got way more value and insight out of "Data Science for Business" and would highly recommend it.

#191. Thinking fast and slow - Kahneman 2. Outliers - Malcom Gladwell 3. How to read and do proofs - Daniel Solow All of these were packed with great insights and are books I'm sure I will return to in the future for multiple re-reads.
If you enjoyed Outliers (or are thinking about reading it), I'd suggest reading Peak (in addition to, but also instead of). https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise/dp...
