Bookworm 2019

in #life5 years ago

Last spring, I already wrote a note about the book marathon that the Pokupo platform holds among its employees. In 2019 the marathon did not start at the beginning of the year, so it became a sprint, but it did not change the essence. Each participant should have noted in the table a list of books he has read and the number of pages.

And what would you think. I won again :) I think I should retrain from programmers to librarians :)

Here is a list of books I read in 2019 (some books was in english, some in russian.), maybe someone will find here something useful for themselves:

  1. Vance “Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX”
  2. Satya Nadella. "Refresh the page"
  3. Paul Vigna, Michael J. Casey "The Age of Cryptocurrencies"

New year I started with Rex Weyler’s book "Greenpeace".
Now I have to keep the brand and win in the new reading marathon, even if I have to compete with myself.

I want to once again thank my colleagues from Pokupo and personally @ivelon for the competition and prizes. I love reading and it is very cool when your hobby brings, among other things, a material reward, especially when this material reward can be converted to new books.
