It is high summer in Vienna.The school holidays have started and my commute moves slightly earlier than during term-time. At the same time, less frequent bus services means slightly longer commutes (e.g. 35-40 minutes instead of 25-30 minutes).
If I don’t bump into someone (parents from my children’s school/kindergarten, work colleagues), I read on my Kindle. This list also contains some physical books rather than eBooks. A couple of the books are re-reads, or ones that have been sitting patiently on my bookshelf!
The current batch of summer reading is as follows:
- Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna: The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want
- John Carrington: Our Greatest Writers
- Elizabeth Carter: The Language of Romance Crimes
- Stephen King: On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft (25th anniversary re-release)
- Patrick Leigh Fermor: A Time of Gifts; Between the Woods and the Water: On Foot to Constantinople from the Hook of Holland: The Middle Danube to the Iron Gates; The Broken Road: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos
- Joachim Lépine: AI resilient
- Jonathan Miles: Once Upon a Time World: The Dark and Sparkling Story of the French Riviera
- Cal Newport: Digital Minimism
- Publications Office of the European Union: Joint practical guide of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission for persons involved in the drafting of European Union legislation
- Publications Office of the European Union: AI-based solutions for legislative drafting in the EU
- Christian Rudder: Dataclysm
- Harry Thompson: Penguins stopped play
- Marcus Trescothick: Coming back to me
