I'm not so much a book reader, and I don't often pick up a book to read. However, here are some I was or still am reading.
Among them are a few I like quite a bit, so let me summarize them here:
What's the future and why it's up to us by Tim O'Reilly is a book by the Tim O'Reilly, in which he describes how he thinks about current developments and what he thinks comes next - also describing the process of how he tries to predict future changes. It's a good book to read on a train to or from work, or during a break, because it does not take your mind away from the tech world while still being quite enjoyable to read.
The Art Of War by Sun Tzu is a classic.Though it's hard to read, because it only consists of a list of rules you should follow to wage war, I try to take one rule every now and then and think about how I can use it in my life, where literally waging war is not a thing. Most of the time, I can come up with good ideas how I can use the tips and where they might apply in my life. For making me think a lot about my life, I really like the book.
The complete life's little instruction book by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. is a collection life advice in the form of one-sentence-rules. They were given to a son by his father, and imho it is a very good guide to good behavior and living a positive life. It contains all the little things people should have learned from their parents during a good upcoming, though from a US-American perspective, and just flipping through the pages is enough to find some little treasure I should mind more in life. It has over a thousand tips, and I recommend it a lot, even if its sitting on the shelf most of the time...
Das Kochbuch für Geeks by Mela Eckenfels, Petra Hildebrandt is something for the German people here. It's an O'Reilly cook book, however, it's literally a cook book. It contains a lot of kitchen tricks for lazy people living alone, like what to buy, how to do basic things, which tools are important, etc. While I already can cook and had most of the stuff they recommend anyway, it's always useful to have a source of little tips and tricks and cheats.
Break my heart 1,000 times by Daniel Waters was released as a movie ("I still see you") just recently. I have to confess I first watched the movie, but now I am reading the book, and I love the story a lot. It's a very sad horror thriller about a world, where people who die might leave visual traces of themselves and their lifes in the real world. The story explores the background of why that is happening, and let me tell you one thing: not everything is as it seems to be. Great read before going to bed!
What's on my list for the future? Since I pick up technical books as soon as I need them, there are no real plans for now. However, I have some fiction books I want to read:
