2025 saw success in reading quantity, but maybe not in reading quality. Nevertheless, some titles shone through. Here are my favourites for the year.
How To Think About AI (Richard Susskind)
Richard Susskind engages us with not only how to put AI to use, but how to think about how to accept it into humanity, and how to not be blinkered with the wrong kind of thinking.

2024 saw success in reading quantity, but maybe not in reading quality. Nevertheless, some titles shone through. Here are my favourites for the year.
Book Review 2023
2023 was not quite as successful as 2022 for reading, but I still came across a few that I learned a lot from or would recommend to others. Here are my favourites for the year.

Kent Beck's 2008 book tries to examine what makes great code, what patterns are behind Object-Oriented constructs and how to make choices that will benefit the longevity of your software.
Drive (Daniel Pink)
Daniel Pink examines what really motivates us, and if the old methods of maximising performance and satisfaction need an overhaul.
