To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.
I'm still reading Ben Wilson's "Metropolis" as I've been very slow this week and I ended up reading almost nothing.

I have changed strategy and decided to speedread through my textbooks, and then transition to 2 month-ish long exam prep period where I re-read slower and do all exercises.
Either Thomas' Calculus is the best math book I have ever read, or these years of university have finally paid off, I feel like I understand everything I am reading with little difficulty.
Interactive Computer Graphics is the book that inspired me to switch strategy, I feel like the graphics course expects me to be further through it than I am but at the same time not.
On the fiction side I have started reading a story called "Cries of the Disillusioned", it is a story about a bunch of space furries coming into contact with humanity and slowly realizing that humans seem to be able to outclass them in their respective niches and have the capacity for violence unlike anything they have ever seen from an intelligent species before. Apparently the furries have literally never known violent conflict, hilarious.
