This post is a follow-up of
this post on November 2007. In that post, I listed the following books to read:
- A Clockwork Orange*
- Brave New World
- Ender's Game*
- The Selfish Gene
- Epic of Gilgamesh
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Neuromancer*
- In the Beginning...was the Command Line*
I surprised myself by actually following the list and read 4 items (those marked with an asterix). I finished only
Ender's Game, actually. I couldn't stand the language in
A Clockwork Orange and I have seen too many recent cyberpunk stuff to appreciate
Neuromancer. I do like
In the Beginning...was the Command Line but I only read the beginning part of it, the reason being I read an online version of it instead of printed version (and it's too long for me to read on screen).
I do have a much longer reading list on my notebook. Trying to keep learning, I suppose (yes, this post is going nowhere so I'll stop now).
