I've started reading through some of the classics you can get for free for your Kindle. Till then I never knew The Time Machine was such a short book, perfect for some casual 2 day reading.
This is a simple yet exciting adventure story that draws an image of the possible future where our society could be heading. Also, it's hard not to like a story where the main character is a classy fellow who travels through time in gentleman's clothes from the 19th century.
Interesting read to learn about Apple's history and Steve Jobs' leadership style. The premise of the book however sounds a bit strange to me, as it seems to be trying to tell the reader what to do to be like Steve Jobs without questioning his actions. Also the writing is a bit out of date of course, as it was written a few years before Jobs' passing away. He certainly was an inspiring person and this book seems to give a good introduction to his role at Apple (and Pixar), but to have a more profound image about his life I think I'll read more from different sources.
Some kind of biography about Richard Stallman and his fight for Free Software. Interesting read that makes me want to create more publicly available software.
Interessant zu erfahren, dass manchmal eine spontane Entscheidung besser sein kann als eine genaue Abwägung. Unser Unterbewusstsein ist offensichtlich zu mehr in der Lage als ich dachte. Gleichzeitig ist das aber auch der Grund, warum wir unterbewusst rassistisch sind und mit Vorurteilen unsere Entscheidungen treffen. War ganz interessant, aber ich fand das Buch nicht so herausragend, wie mir vorher berichtet wurde.
It's been a long time since I've last finished a book in about a day. The story is okay but what really made it for me was John Green's writing and the wit of his characters.
