Marco Angeli Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 If you like earth, space, ISS, and astronaut's stuff I really recommend "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth" by Chris Hadfield...a compelling book.

teppo Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 PRINT "I LOVE MY COMMODORE" You key in this and press RETURN I LOVE MY COMMODORE The computer prints this READY ▋ Admittedly this is a border case for a book-related thread, but I simply couldn't resist after todays comments in the admin theme thread: anyone remember that user manual C64 shipped with? The one that was part how-to guide for using C64.. but mostly an introductory book for Basic programming? Well, for those who do remember (or don't but would like to) it's available as an HTML version from lemon64.com.. and commodore.ca has even more of that same stuff in PDF format. They really don't make manuals like that anymore (probably for a good reason -- just imagine a modern PC or Mac shipping with C/C++/Objective C manual) but that's also one of the few manuals I remember reading from cover to cover more than once.. and actually enjoying it "Before you can use sprites it's important that you understand a few general things about how computers work.." 2
pwired Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 C64 - ZXSpectrum - Amstrad , Atari, BBC. I liked the Zilog Z80A more than the 6502. Does anyone still remember the grundy newbrain ? I loved it ! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/125115695868553811/ Oh man those where the days in the 80's with basic/assembly and cassette tapes. (and house music !!) 1

Squidgybuffalo Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Here are a couple of books I'd recommend! (fiction) Timeriders by Alex Scarrow: literally amazing and captivating | Amazon link Sword Art Online: The novel is really fun to read and covers stuff not found in the anime | Amazon link Tales of the Ketty Jay by Chris Wooding: a fun series of books about piracy | Amazon link Ready Player One: A fun book that makes numerous old timey game references | Amazon link Haha yeah, I pretty much read stuff not many other people will.
qtguru Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Sadly the only books have been reading lately are all programming related but i don't mind recommendations but my types are: 1. Science Fiction anything Time travel related that messes with my head e.g Butterfly effect,Predestination, The Girl who lept through time 2. Fantasy (Magic,Wizard ,Middle Earth,Orcs Dragons,) 3. Animes I watch and read all so feel free to recommend any awesome anime books too. thanks

FrancisChung Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I highly recommend Michael Marshall Smith or Michael Marshall he is now known if you're looking for a great fiction writer with a sci-fi twist.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Marshall-Smith/e/B000APTPVA/
Jaclyn Shaffer Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 My favourite books are "Thinking, Fast and Slow" and "Rework". I would strongly recomend them for those people who care about their business and team building. Luckily, they are not ones of those who try to proclaim their business in a hidden oe even open way; they are more practical. 3
Baozhai Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 My interest lies in philosophy and hence I like books on this subject. Right now I am reading this Meditations Book by Marcus Aurelius. 1
_Roy_ Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 A bit late to the party, but still... It's certainly not an unknown book, but as a fantasy-lover you have to have read Magician by Raymond E. Feist. And if you love it: there's tons of books that take place in the same world(s) that you can follow it up with.
