Books

A mix of fiction and nonfiction that shaped me as a developer, and as a person. Some of them are pending in my developer bookshelf.

Book cover of Sadie

Sadie by Courtney Summers

The first fiction book I ever read (other than the diary of a wimpy kid series), and wow, it hit hard. Dark, immersive, and unforgettable. I don't think it's for everyone, but I had to include it in this list.

Book cover of Thinking in Systems

Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows

A clear and practical exploration of how the world works, and how to spot the hidden connections that shape outcomes.

Book cover of Show Your Work

Show Your Work by Austin Kleon

Book cover of Never Let Me Go

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Book cover of Four Thousand Weeks

Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

An honest perspective on time. Rethink productivity, not as a thing to optimize endlessly, but as something to align with what really matters.

Book cover of The Midnight Library

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

A story about the lives we could have lived.

Book cover of The Book Thief

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Narrated by Death, somehow poetic and brutal at once.

Book cover of Deep Work

Deep Work by Cal Newport

Book cover of Norwegian Wood

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Strange, and quiet. Feels like a late night coding session with your thoughts on loop.

Book cover of Tim Cook: The Genius Who Took Apple to the Next Level

Tim Cook: The Genius Who Took Apple to the Next Level by Leander Kahney

If you end up reading any of these, or already have, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. I’m always up for a book conversation.

Respect for stopping by,

Dayton
