TODO: got kobo (to replace kindle)
My reading journal and book reviews
In a continuing process of getting off of all big-corpo platforms, I’m back to hosting my book reviews on my own website again!
I’m probably going to back-fill a bit at some point, but I gotta start somewhere, so here we go:
-
(ongoing) The Art of Doing Science and Engineering by Richard W. Hamming, 432 pages
Oh jeez, I’m so behind. I’ve read books! But I need to get the entries transcribed…
-
2024-04-17 Programming Ruby 3.3 by Noel Rappin, 718 pages
-
2024-04-16 Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, 272 pages
-
2024-04-13 Shell Script Pearls by Ron Peters, 318 pages
(For the interested, I’ve got a Ruby script that gets called from Vim to make it easier to add new reviews to this list: new-book source and my notes about it.)
(I’ll probably eventually split the reviews into years or something and the above will just be a "recent" list. More importantly, I’ll be able to incorporate them into my website, group them in different ways, etc.)
Other Book links
A book-related website I occasionally use to find titles, authors, and especially series, is LibraryThing. Here’s the page for books most frequently tagged "computer science":
