The Books
| Book | Author | Thoughts |
|---|---|---|
| Grumpy Gits... | author |
 Somehow someone (name elided to protect the "innocent") thought this would be up my street. It is. It's right on-message. But that message only needs to be a couple of pages, a whole book is kinda stretching it. A fun, short, read. |
| Clean Code Collection | Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) | I do still  to work but < insert excuse here > ... Anyway, every programmer should read this. I thought I should read it again... |
| How to Stop Time | Matt Haig |
 A physical book I've had for a while but only got to read it whilst on holiday. An interesting read that should make a fun film ... makes you think about the fleeting nature of life. |
| Discworld! Hogfather, The Fifth Elephant |
Terry Pratchett |
 Continuing the theme of 2019... |
