Not specifically for the HN community but these are the only books I read this year that I would recommend without qualification.
Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
- The Bright Sword, Lev Grossman Modern take on King Arthur, very fun, wild ride.
- The Courage to Be Disliked, Ichiro Kishimi Philosophy as a dialogue between teacher and student, lots to think about.
You've reached the end!

Fantastic exposition of machine learning. The author does an amazing job of bringing a technical subject down to an easily readable level.
2. The Joy of Abstraction - Eugenia Cheng
Similar to the above review. I never thought Category Theory could be made so easily readable!
3. A Little History of Philosophy - Nigel Warburton
Small, compact book. A quick interesting jaunnt through the history of philosophy. Entertaining and educational!
