Never read it. Its time that I catch up a little bit.
I've started reading that 3 times now, lol. I get distracted every time.
Yup. Trying to stay focused and finish what I start. Its typical of me to start something and never finish it. Working on fixing that fallacy of myself. Not being much of a reader doesn't help with that either.

Whoa, that's a classic to have missed. Enjoy that one, it is intense.
No joke. At Part 1 - V, and trying to keep up with its own terms and definitions takes a bit of effort.

Took me a long time to fix that behaviour in myself with video games.

I re-read that with my daughter about two years ago. Excellent book.

I have just finished reading all the Conan books by Robert Ervin Howard, which are better reading than I expected for the genre.
I am currently reading the autobiography Believe Me by the English transvestite actor, comedy performer and charty supporter Eddie Izzard ... Interesting, irreverent at times, often funny and always thought provoking.

Mine is seven, so this is her first time through it.

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. Very interesting stuff.

The kids are busily reading The Cricket in Times Square.

I think this is outside of tech. I mean it is close, but it isn't an O'Reilly book.
-
Just read some more of Squirrel Girl to Luciana.

Just starting into The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.

Currently reading "Every word is a bird we teach to sing" by Daniel Tammet. Daniel was the subject of documentaries due to being one of the greatest savants in the world. He experiences a synaesthetic and emotional response for numbers and words. The book is a study on language and how things change dramatically depending on the way it is used or the culture. He's a very fascinating person and has a very unique thought process. I have enjoyed this one so much that I will likely buy all of his books in the near future.

"The Last Mohican" last night.
-
I've been rereading the Pern series.
Currently on All the Weyrs of Pern

Does NIST Special Publication 800-53 r4 count as "outside of tech"?
If not then I did start re-reading Monstress Vol 3 by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda. (graphic novel), so I could move onto all the individual issues that came out after that which haven't been released in graphic novel format yet.
