Best Books of 2025

In 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 I published lists of books I enjoyed every year. Then I enumerated those I read from 2014 to 2019, and then the ones of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Here’s the complete list of books I read and enjoyed in 2025. There’s a lot, and a little bit of everything.

Best Books of 2014 to 2019

In 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 I published lists of books I enjoyed every year. Starting in 2014 I stopped publishing them every year, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t keep track of the books I read.

Best Books of 2013

It is that time of the year again, just like in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Best Books of 2012

Ahhh… it is that time of the year again, just like in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Best Books of 2011

Just like in 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007, here goes the traditional book of the year post for 2011! This year my reading list included design, history, and lots of JavaScript.

Best Books of 2010

It is that time of the year again, just like in previous years. This is the list of the books I enjoyed most in 2010! You know that I like reading at least 6 books per year, and learning a new programming language every year. Last year’s programming language was LISP, and the books, well, here they go.

Best Books of 2009

Every year I’m doing the same post (well, in 2006 I completely forgot to do it) that starts more or less with the same phrase: “every year I like to read at least 6 new tech books, and to learn a new programming language”.

Best Books of 2008

You might remember my beloved mantras: learning a new programming language and reading at least 6 relevant books every year. Following the 2007 edition, here’s the list of the 8 books I have enjoyed most in 2008, ordered by a purely subjective and absolutely irrational decreasing preference. I strongly recommend all of them!

Best Books of 2007

I have several mantras in my life. One of them is to learn a new programming language every year. Another one is to read at least 6 technology-related books every year.

My Bookshelf Part I

Working in the IT industry means learning continuously, and keeping lots of information in your brain at once; this, in turn, means subscribing to key newsletters, reading online forums and blogs, and last but not least, reading a bunch of books and PDF papers every year.
