Books
I like to read, and there's something special about reading a book that's hard to beat compared to reading on a screen.
I do read fiction from time to time, but I also really enjoy reading books that probably go under the popular science genre. Books about business, logic, people and technology. Think of if like this, if it could be a cover story in Wired, it probably fits the genre.
I'm also a big fan of reading books about everything related to web technology. Below is a list of some of the books that I've read lately, and that ones I think is good enought to reccomend to others.
