Books
Over the last couple of years I've put a conscious effort into reading more. I've always enjoyed reading as a hobby, but the more my career progressed and the more time I spent in front of a computer, the less time I spent reading. Initially, one of my goals and motivations, was to read more non-fiction and learn by digging deeper into topics. It’s pretty clear from skimming this list that I've found sticking to non-fiction to be a challenge and tend to read sci-fi more than anything else.
I've added an * after the title to my favourites, which I especially enjoyed and I would highly recommend.
