      1984

      Never read it. Its time that I catch up a little bit.

      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.

      Oh yeah, forgot about that stuff.

              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.

                          I think this is outside of tech. I mean it is close, but it isn't an O'Reilly book.

                                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.

                                      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.

                                            Ha ha ha. You read it?

                                            It seems to be a half decent book so far, but we're only like 2 chapters in.
