Sci-fi

- Ready Player One

- Pattern Recognition

- Burning Chrome

- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

- Hyperion

- A Fire Upon The Deep

Technical (backend development + security)

- HTTP: The Definitive Guide

- RESTful Web Services

- Designing Data Intensive Applications

- Web Scalability for Startup Engineers

- The Art of Software Security Assessment

- The Web Application Hacker's Handbook

- A Philosophy of Software Design

- Clean Architecture

- The Go Programming Language

- Refactoring (new 2nd edition)

- Algorithm Design Manual

- Cracking The Coding Interview

I'll definitely be able to get through all the sci-fi novels, but not the technical stuff. At minimum I need to go through the technical interview prep books, refactoring, and designing scalable applications.

Yay! Read Hyperion. Its a great book. I've literally read a couple hundred sci-fi novels and it's one of my favorites.
