[Data-Oriented Design – Richard Fabian]

DoD is an interesting design philosophy used in game engine design. This book was both quite concrete and quite abstract, so I walked away not exactly sure if I got the message, but the idea of modelling data closer to a SQL database for performance is interesting.

[Never Split the Difference – Chris Voss]

Nightly audiobook. There's a lot more information than it seems on first reading, I'm trying to internalize and practice it in daily life.

[Lost Connections – Johann Hari]

A book about depression, connection, and medication. It was quite good, though I learned later that the author has quite a bit of controversy.

[The Twentysomething Treatment – Meg Jay]

The book was good, her interviews on people's podcasts are even better.

[You Can't Win – Jack Black]

Awesome HN recommendation, an autobiography of an early 1900s criminal.

[The Starship and the Canoe – Kenneth Brower]

Another HN recommendation. A snapshot of the life of Freeman Dyson of project ORION and his son George, who built a giant fiberglass canoe and paddles the west coast of Canada and the States.
