I read a lot and most times I take to Amazon to either get inspirational books or science fictions to keep me company after work or during the weekend I use most of my time to read books.
If you want to keep up with trends and improve yourself you need to read constantly as readers are builders so I will be dropping 2 of the books I am currently reading, you can also drop yours as it can help someone

I am reading the new book of Neil DeGrasse Tyson "Letters from an Astrophysicist". Since the beginning of the pandemic I really enjoyed reading physics book again. It's my 3rd book by Neil and he is just an awesome writer. I can recommend his books to anyone, even if you don't have much knowledge about astrophysics.

While I am waiting for the ordered books, mentioned above, I just realized I have a new book to read, which rested untouched in my house for almost two years.



This book is a present from my mom and it has a funny history: she bought me this book by mistake Smiley She thought it is about Ross Ulbricht's Silk Road (the book is written in English and she doesn't know too much English lol). In fact, the book is Peter Frankopan's The Silk Roads: A New History of the world and I'm sure it is a very good reading. I added also a photo of the back cover, for the review written there. This book is also huge (521 pages), but I hope to finish reading it until I'll receive the other books I ordered.

I just started reading Coingecko's book on Decentralised Finance. How to Defi. I am currently about half way and I can recommend it to anyone who is interested in DeFi but doesn't yet now a lot about it.
In the book they also offer a lot of examples and guides to some of the more popular DeFi products and they link to a lot of interesting articles in the book. So for anyone who wants to dive deeper into a specific topic they can without having to go though a lot of trouble finding relevant articles.
The book itself isn't to long at 212 pages but if you calculate in all the articles they reference I would say you can about triple that figure.

Just finished reading The Most Dangerous Man In The World: The Inside Story On Julian Assange And WikiLeaks, written by Andrew Fowler, Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet, by Julian Assange and Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson, which is a book with references to Cypherpunks and their mailing list, inspired from Tim May's Cyphernomicon.

While I was reading Cryptonomicon (which is a 918 pages book), I found out that the author wrote three other books related to this one, although not related to Cypherpunks anymore: Reamde (912 pg.) Fall; or, Dodge in Hell (720 pg.) and The Baroque Cycle. The Baroque Cycle contains itself three novels: Quicksilver (720 pg.), The Confusion (815 pg.) and The System of the World (912 pg.). Besides, Neal Stephenson wrote one more book with references to the Cypherpunks: Snow Crash (448 pg.).

I ordered one book of The Baroque Cycle (The Confusion), True Names by Vernor Vinge (which was inspired by Tim May's masterpiece True Nyms and Crypto Anarchy (the essay being included in a reprint of Vinge's True Names)), Snow Crash, Orwell's 1984 (which is a book which inspired all Cypherpunks' activity) and two more books written by Julian Assange: Underground (500 pg.) and When Google Met Wikileaks. If I'll get all these, I have to try to find just one last book of Assange - The Unauthorised Biography (350 pg.). And, of course, all the other Stephenson's books mentioned above. Only if I can find them in Romania. If I'll find them all, I think I'll finish reading them by Christmas of 2021. Excepting 1984, all the others can be found in English, which makes them even more difficult to read, besides their length.

Ryu Murakami `Line`. Recommended, by the way  Cool I remember the main hero, it was a girl and she could listen what people are saying while they are speaking on the phone.I dont think it is possible to make something similar in our days, but at least you can go for a real phone tracker like its described here https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-track-an-iphone-from-an-android-phone/

I am not a book lover. I'm the kind of person that do not love to read books or articles. I just read my notes/books in college/highschool when we will be having a quiz, long quiz, and major exams. Although that's the thing, I envy others who love to read books because it is additional information. I want to read books bit I am too lazy for it.

Does audiobooks count as “reading a book”?

I’m currently listening to “five lives of cheater”. This a LitRPG (literature role play game). Dont know about all countries, but in Russia it is very popular in last years. It is usually regular science fiction or fantasy book with elements of rpg. Main character is leveling during the plot, gains skills and equip.

I'm reading the Bible now, I want to understand why this book is the most popular in the world.


Same here. Although I know that it's the most popular in the world, and I've read a few bible verses ever now and then while studying in a Catholic school, aside from reading and hearing the gospel when I go to church. And I believe that it's about time and simply overdue for me not having enough time to read the whole Bible instead.

There are pearls of knowledge scattered in every book. So a seeker of knowledge has to read innumerable books. He will find intelligent sayings in any book. So it cannot be said that you can become wise by reading these books. Knowledge has no boundaries. So we see, there is no end to the book. I reading "You Can Win"
