| # isaac's reading list | ||
|
|
||
| This is a list of books that I have found useful in my gradual/ongoing | ||
| transition from software developer to startup founder. | ||
|
|
||
| If there's something that you think I ought to read, then open an | ||
| issue. | ||
|
|
||
| This is not a comprehensive list of every book I've read on any of | ||
| these subjects. Just the ones that I can wholeheartedly recommend | ||
| because they are interesting, entertaining, and/or educational enough | ||
| to be worth the experience. | ||
|
|
||
| I have a strong preference towards audiobooks rather than paper or | ||
| kindle. Audio means I can consume it while doing things that occupy | ||
| my hands, like commuting or going to the gym. | ||
