Books
I like to read, but lately it has been hard to find time for reading. Books by H.P. Lovecraft and Douglas Adams have always been my favourites, I have also read Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and liked it a lot. Cryptonomicon and others are waiting in the line..
Tolkien's Lord of The Rings trilogy and The Hobbit were very important for me when I grew up. I also loaned loads of books from library during my childhood, both fiction and non-fiction. Of course I also read lots of comic books, which were surprisingly well available in the public library of Kuhmo.
Stephen Jay Gould's scientific essays have also been very interesting to read.
Recently I have picked up reading again and managed to read about Unix and Commodore history. These books were all very interesting reads:
- Brian Kernighan, UNIX: A History and a Memoir
- Brian Bagnall, Commodore: A Company on the Edge
- Brian Bagnall, Commodore: The Amiga Years
- Brian Bagnall, Commodore: The Final Years
- Bil Herd, Back into the Storm: A Design Engineer's Story of Commodore Computers in the 1980s
- Howard Scott Warshaw, Once Upon Atari: How I made history by killing an industry
- David John Pleasance, Commodore: The Inside Story
- David John Pleasance and Trevor Dickinson, From Vultures To Vampires Volume 1
- David John Pleasance and Trevor Dickinson, From Vultures To Vampires Volume 2
- Maija Saraste, Radio-Mikro - Kaikkea antennin ja maan väliltä 1946-1992
