@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ Here there will be a constantly WIP list of [books](book.md) that might be of in
- **ISO/IEC 9899:1999** (1999): Specification of the version of [C](c.md) programming language that [suckless](suckless.md)/[LRS](lrs.md) very often uses. It's nice to skim over it to get an idea how a language is actually specified. You'll also probably learn something new about C in the process.
- **Just for Fun** (2001): Official biography of [Linus Torvalds](torvalds.md), the original creator of [Linux](linux.md). It recounts valuable historical moments with comments by Linus himself, revealing many interesting details and also a bit of Torvalds' personality (shows some of his evil side).
- **Larousse Desk Reference Encyclopedia** (1995): Very nice single-volume [encyclopedia](encyclopedia.md) that's sorted by topic, with many nice illustrations, published back then when censorship wasn't so extreme, provides overview of all topics of human knowledge.
- **[Lord of the Rings](lotr.md)** (1954, also The Hobbit book): Epic fantasy, mandatory read, period. Like with other popular works you must NOT read any newer renditions/editions/spinoffs, they are all cancerous poison, it's a serious danger to one's mental health. Only read the original books (watching the 2000s LotR movies is also allowed, but NOT the Hobbit etc.).
- **[Lord of the Rings](lotr.md)** (1954, also The Hobbit, Silmarillion etc.): Epic fantasy, mandatory read, period. Like with other popular works you must NOT read any newer renditions/editions/spinoffs, they are all cancerous poison, it's a serious danger to one's mental health. Only read the original books (watching the 2000s LotR movies is also allowed, but NOT the Hobbit etc.).
- **Masters of Doom** (Kushner, 2003): Another nice book for [Doom](doom.md) fans, this time not really technical but rather just retelling the story of the game's development -- quite comfy, a lot if interesting trivia.
- **[The Jargon File](jargon_file.md)** (1975...): [Hacker culture](hacking.md) dictionary, a lot of wisdom, inside jokes, and things related to oldschool hacking.
- **Rebel Code** (Moody, 2001): A bit of a mainstream view at the whole "[open source](open_source.md)" history -- though it's a small brain business view which we have to keep in mind at all times, it's a nice introduction to the whole FOSS world for the newcomers, as the book covers most of the relevant projects and [people](people.md).
