## What is this?
|
||||
|
||||
This is NOT recommendations. When I made this, I intended for a comprehensive list excluding low-profile books—see
|
||||
inclusion criteria below. There was a simple reason behind that: I'm not a subject-matter expert on all these topics.
|
||||
More importantly, I don't know your experience level nor your preferences. Some people prefer theoretical over practical
|
||||
books (I do). Others prefer verbose over concise books, or art-based over engineering-based books. Or and or and or.

|

## What should I read?
|
||||
|
||||
Don't be overwhelmed by the number of books on each subject. Practically speaking, you are supposed to read a few books
|
||||
on each subject that you are interested in. Deciding what to read is your business. Alternatively, you may go with the
|
||||
Goodreads community preferences and start from the top of each list if you don't have the time to read reviews.

The books are sorted solely based on the number of written reviews. There are, however, other important factors worth

considering. For example, the average rating, the number of ratings, and the publishing date. Yet, I don't have an idea
