I love to read books, especially on software engineering, operating systems, computers in general and other related topics like productivity. I decided to share the most important of them.

The links to Amazon point to the latest edition when writing this post, but the actual edition I’ve read might be several years (or decades) older. I vividly remember reading MS-DOS 5 and 6.2 in elementary school circa 1995, then The Official Red Hat Linux 5 User’s Guide in high school circa 1999 and C++ In Plain English a year later or so.

This list will be updated and will stay relevant going forward as I will link to this page after it is posted.
