Ask HN: Technical Summer Reading List

I usually enjoy reading something thick and technical during my summer vacation, to learn something new and not necessarily work-related. This year, however, I am not sure which book to pick up. I would love to see what's on your summer reading lists.

My recent favourites:

Bayesian Data Analysis, 3rd ed, by Gelman et al

Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by Martin Kleppmann

The Art of Electronics, by Horowitz & Hill

I'm planning to read

- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP). A classic.

- Crafting Interpreters. Intro to compilers for me.

- Deep Learning for Coders with Fastai and PyTorch.

There's some other books in there too, but I'd be really happy if I finished these. I don't have a degree in CS, and most of what I know is self taught. My goal here is to fill in gaps in my knowledge as best I can.

Steve McConnell - Code Complete (Second Edition) is really good.

The Art of Electronics is on my technical reading list as well.

If you are into Clojure, you will probably enjoy Elements of Clojure by Zachary Tellman. It is not a tutorial, it's more like an attempt to bring tacit knowledge of idiomatic programming practices into light.

Out of the Crisis by Edwards Deming is one of those books I think should be read by anyone who is a... human? And active professionally, I suppose.
