Sci-fi

  1. Blindsight by Peter Watts (wrote a review)
  2. I, robot; Foundation series by Issac Asimov
  3. Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams: (only first two)
  4. The player of games by Iain Banks

Non-fiction

  1. GEB by Douglas Hafstadter (re-read; wrote a review that I myself was satisfied)
  2. Sapiens: a brief history of humankind by Yuval Noah Harari (read twice; wrote a review)
  3. Road to serfdom by Friedrich von Hayek (I feel strong affinity to his thoughts)
  4. Man’s search for meaning by Viktor Frankl (the first part was very intense and unforgettable; not sure about logotherapy itself)

Fiction

  1. Neapolitan novels by Elena Ferrante (recommended to everyone; may re-read)
  2. Angle of repose by Wallace Stegner (rather interesting angle of the American Western history and people)

Unfinished


  1. My struggle book 1 by Karl Ove Knausgaard (I struggled more, endless mumbling)
