Marco Angeli Posted January 13, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teppo Posted January 25, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qtguru Posted January 14, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisChung Posted October 10, 2016 Share 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaclyn Shaffer Posted April 18, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baozhai Posted January 16, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warric Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Sun Tzu's Art of War Nietzsche's Will to Power Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil Marcus Aurelius' Meditations Isekai Nonbiri Nouka novel online De Tocqueville's Democracy in America Those are some I consider essential reads for lessons on life. For just an enjoyable read, I'd recommend picking what they haven't read from the Classics genre. You can generally get a good story and a lesson from them.

_Roy_ Posted January 23, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
