Reading list of 2017 — Books recommendation
As we are all reading the final pages of 2017, I thought of writing what I read in 2017.
Looking back at my 2017 filled me with a pleasant surprise. I had read 24 books in the genres of fiction, non-fiction, history, political, technology, And society. Never have i read so many even during my college years.
The things you read will define you and your future. Books and friends are the same kinds, you can choose them both by your choice and it will help you to discover and define yourself.
Be careful about choosing the books to read, while reading the book you are not just reading the book, you are understanding the authors view, you gaining view through the author’s eyes and the author introducing you to the new world through his/her words. Words are the most dangerous weapon we ever had.
When you are (mostly) communicating with the machines then technology kind of books is enough to make a soothing conversation but the actual problem starts when you started to spend time with the people. Because peoples are Platform Dependent. This is why each and every people we meet makes an interesting move in our life :) No harm to the lovable people.
Fun fact: In this ICE (Information, Communication, Entertainment) era, there are more selfies than humanity.
In my daily routine,
Here is the scale of my communication with people and communication with the machines ( programming ).
Acronym :
Communicating with machines = Syntactically we can say its the process of Programming, (Yes. I’m a superman who develops web).
Communicating with people = I’m a normal man who decodes and encodes the developer’s thought.
My scale in 2015 & 2016,
Communicating with the machines > Communicating with the people.
My scale in 2017,
Communicating with the machines < Communicating with the people.
Fun fact: Some fiction books are much better than the self-help books in terms of shaping up yourself. With the help of storytelling skill How to say beats the What to say.
One of my friends Jokingly said,
If you want to learn and improve you as a person in a hard way, then you have to Team up and make a process with the people who you don’t want to meet even in next life. This how you will learn people management in a hard way. People management is not at all about other people, its all about the self.
There are many people found themselves in the books what they read. The best workout for the brain is turning minimum 50 pages of the book.
Reading a book is not just chasing the lines, it’s about crossing the great wars, memories, events, eras……etc.
Here is my reading list for 2017,
