New Ribbon: Black and White

#books

matto has a new and shiny capsule running on a beaglebone black, using vger and ed. Yay, that is indeed smol computing. The capsule is still small, too, but I found this post really interesting:

There is an incredible, almost infinite, number of books out there. When choosing what to read, it is not possible to look at each and every book.

local copy

I have read a fair share of books in my life. I have far too many of them, and recently I give them away more liberally. What good is a book, if it is read only once? That is probably not, what books were invented for. On the other hand I have purchased second copies of some books to give them away for "recommended by me"-reading. So I thought why not create a little list of books, that I whole heartedly recommend.

update

Some time ago I was pointed to this list of books:

https://github.com/hackerkid/Mind-Expanding-Books

In order to read, what the books are about, you have to go to this site

https://books.vishnuks.com/

and enable javascript. But this site is lacking hints about why the author thinks, these books deserve to be on the list.
