I maintain a list of books that I have read to completion in the past few years. I mostly stick to non-fiction these days, with a bias for history, tech, and education. Recommending books is hard, as it depends on your interest, background knowledge etc. But I have marked those in bold which I thought were particularly great. If you have a good book recommendation, please email or tweet to me.
