Ask HN: 'Must read' books
What are the best programming/entrepreneurial/etc books you've read in the last years? Anything interesting counts!

There are probably > 100 topics in the past two years with a similar title/vein. You'd likely enjoy reading through those - lots of good suggestions in the previous threads.
Yeah, I thought so. I did a fast search and couldn't find many of those, but I'm gonna search a little longer. Thanks :)
"Do more faster" by David cohen and Brad feld.
A must have book.

A few I read:
Design is Job - Mike Monteiro by A Book Apart (Really basic stuff for people starting with agency/freelance work, but really good).
Learn Ruby The Hard Way for people starting.
Applied Cryptography, Second Edition: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C
Baked In from Alex Bogusky and John Winsor (About C+P agency)
I'll try to think of a couple more.

That book only applies to you if you have a very flexible schedule.
It's not that you should read and implement it verbatim. It's a great read in terms of getting you into different mindset.
-Stumbling on Happiness
-Free Software, Free Society
-Masters of Doom (not finished, just started reading it, great so far)
A great scifi book that also mixes in entrepreneurial concepts is "Infoquake."
