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.

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.
