It's early November, and I have already completed my reading plan for this year, so I don't intend to read any more books in the next couple of months. First, a few words about what has changed in my approach to reading books, and then, as usual, I will present a list of the books I read this year.
The only change I made to my reading routine is that at the end of the year, I no longer re-read my notes. I've accumulated so many that it would take me several months just to read them. Now, I re-read my notes immediately after finishing a book for better retention of the material. Will I re-read older notes? I think definitely yes. But I'm still not quite sure about the frequency and dedicated time for it. Most likely, I'll re-read earlier notes in one year and more recent ones in the next. And this will certainly not come at the expense of reading new books.
So, here is the complete list of books I read this year:
- Adel F - “Architecture of Complex Web Applications”
- Curry Mason - “The Genius Mode: The Daily Routines of Great People”
- Vladimir Khorikov - “Principles of Unit Testing”
- Malcolm Gladwell - “Outliers: Why Some People Succeed and Others Don’t”
- Barry Pollard - “HTTP/2 in Action”
- Asya Kazantseva - “Someone is Wrong on the Internet!”
- Alexander Panchin - “Apophenia”
- James Griffiths - “The Great Chinese Firewall”
- Vsevolod Demkin - “Operating Systems”
- Reed Hastings, Erin Meyer - “No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention”
- Tom Laszewski, Kamal Arora, Eric Farr, Piyush Zonuz - “Cloud Architectures”
- Daniel Kahneman - “Thinking, Fast and Slow”
- Konstantin Borisov - “How a Good Developer Doesn’t Become a Bad Manager”
- Greg Sidelnikov - “Visual CSS”
- Jeff Colvin - “Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else”
- Charles Duhigg - “Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business”
- Eric Redmond, Jim R. Wilson - “Seven Databases in Seven Weeks”
- John Whalen - “User Experience Design: How to Create Products People Love”
For each book, I assigned ratings, so along with the ratings, the list of books looks as follows.
Los libros que más me han gustado este año (sin contar la temática de programación) son los siguientes:
Curry Mason - “El modo genio: La rutina diaria de las grandes personas”
Malcolm Gladwell - “Fuera de serie: Por qué unos son exitosos y otros no”
Asya Kazantseva - “¡En Internet, alguien tiene razón!”
