The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, first published in 1949, is a widely acclaimed book …
Very informative but dry and dated. I can see why it's considered a cornerstone.

Classic weird fantasy tinged with horror.
Very thought-provoking and an eye-opening look at human history.

The history and original design of the World Wide Web by its creator
Very interesting for a look into the history of the the web's creation and its spread. The latter chapters haven't aged well. Overly optimistic (where is the semantic web these days?) and a little sad when looking at how the web has influenced society through social media.

A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they're …
The violence, the anachronisms, the adult themes, the art, and good ole fantasy tropes all combine for a fun time. The characters have a diversity you don't usually (ever?) see. My only compliant were a few moments that seemed to jump to a new scene without enough context. This is barely something to complain over, though.

Great book that is obviously an intro and high-level overview of Domain-Driven Design. I found it helpful and looking forward to reading it's big brother: Implementing Domain-Driven Design. It could have been helped with more time spent on what problems DDD is meant to fix.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, …
Eye-opening (hah) book. After dealing with short sleep all of my adult life, I can now see that the "sleep is a waste of time" ethos is simply harmful and self-defeating. The author explains everything, with citation, in a way laypeople like myself can understand. I recommend this to everyone that doesn't get 7 to 9 hours of sleep in a night - which is nearly everyone.

The Whispering Swarm (2015) is a fantasy novel by Michael Moorcock. It is the first …
Sometimes this book is completely brilliant. It's a pseudo-fantastical autobiography but the number of ideas and large amount of detail can be overwhelming. It's a mix of a very long, yet really interesting, forward by Michael Moorcock published in a collection of classic weird tales and a dreamlike, partially drug-induced magical realist coming-of-age-and-then-some story. For me, it began to bog down ("okay, we've seen the passage of years again... where is this going? is this going?") and I had to give it up once it became a chore to read. Things were starting to get even more surreal and potentially interesting but the dry style and almost aloof narration of the protaganist finally made me give up.
Hopefully, it can get another chance in the future.

Best book ever
Didn't finish. Might come back to it but am unlikely to. The story and characters never really connected with me. Really wanted to enjoy it based on the concept.
