-- **An Illustrated History of 151 Video Games** (2014): Though being a bit of a modern, normie book with some shit here and there (a bit shitty writing style TBH), overall it's actually a quite nice compendium on video games, very good for example for your inawoods offline library, to cover most of the gaming topic. It covers games from the earliest up until the end of the good gaming era, with a mini review of the most significant ones, including many screenshots and interesting trivia. There are also sprite sheets, game maps and articles about notable gaming systems. It evokes a bit of that 90's kid's nostalgia of reading about games in paper magazines. (As always, try to get older editions, newer ones will probably be more shitty.)
 - **Blackout** (2017, Elsberg): Fiction, telling a story of a large blackout in Europe that shows to really be caused by [bloated](bloat.md) tech. For [collapse](collapse.md) enjoyers this is an interesting read if only for the detailed description of the consequences a sudden loss of electric power.
 - **Day of the Triffids** (1951, Wyndham): Excellent sci-fi in which civilization comes to an end due to a disaster (won't spoil), very nice for collapse preps or just people enjoying a great story narrated in captivating way :-) The movie is a joke, don't even search for it. Also other books by Wyndham are awesome.
 - **[Einstein](einstein.md): His Life and Universe** (Isaacson, 2008): [Einstein](einstein.md)'s biography, quite a nice read about a pretty awesome man who's image has been so distorted by the mainstream shit.

 - **Game Engine Black Book: Doom** (Sanglard, 2019): Gratis, very nice book dissecting all the details about the legendary [Doom](doom.md) engine and its internals -- how it worked, why was it so fast, what hacks went into it, written so that a reader of any programming skill (even none) will find something interesting. A must read for fans of oldschool game programming.
 - **Game Engine Black Book: Wolfenstein 3D** (Sanglard, 2019): Same as the Doom engine book from the same author, just about the older game Wolfenstein 3D, also amazing.
 - **Guinness Book of World Records, BEFORE 2000**: The older books were excellent, ideally get some from 80s or earlier, there are funny records like most rats killed by cat in one hour, most primitive languages and so on. Do NOT buy the new editions, these are uttermost absolute garbage equivalent to an expensive toilet paper.
+- **[Harry Potter](harry_potter.md)** (1997 to 2007): Quite comfy, relaxing fantasy read, despite having been written by a [woman](woman.md). WARNING: do NOT read anything published later such as various spinoffs and new censored editions, it's all lesbian poison now, read only the original books.
 - **Industrial Society and Its Future** (Kaczynski, 1995): A bit boring read by the famous [Unabomber](ted_kaczynski.md), criticizing rapid technology advancement, but an important read for those who are more into politics, if only for the memes :)
 - **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.).
 - **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).

 - **The Pig and the Box** (MCM, 2009): A short story for kids showing the dangers of [DRM](drm.md), released under [CC0](cc0.md)!
 - **The Tao of Programming** (James, 1987): Famous piece of [hacker culture](hacking.md) literature, wisdom of programming written in taoist style.
 - **Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus** (1994): Very nice, readable book, that implements a whole 90s shooter game in [C](c.md), without drowning the reader in tons of equations and smartass talk. It's written with the 90s mindset and in common language, contains many practical tricks for optimizing the code etc.
