Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist.

I am digging it so far, about 50% through and it's a fun ride.

So what are you all reading?

Yeah, I work as a software engineer and have completed the Nand2Tetris course which is similar.

But a solid third of the book is pure electronic engineering - flip-flops, tri-state buffers, etc. with lots and lots of circuit diagrams. it almost feels like a reference guide, but as a paperback isn't useful like that. It's even less approachable than Designing Data-Intensive Applications for example.

Nand2Tetris is awesome though, that is 1000% recommended.
