Here is another good thread from a few days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33849267

Here is the list of some of the good books I read this year https://brajeshwar.com/2022/books/

Starting this year, instead of writing the list at the year-end, I have decided that I will just write as I read along. Besides the 5 odd I listed from a comment on this thread, here are others I have listed from other threads on Hackernews and Twitter. The URL is a pattern anyway, so it will be https://brajeshwar.com/2023/books/

Information hoarding was my big problem as well. To fight it, a few years ago, I stopped using any bookmark services, and I started to keep a list of links in a markdown text file with a limited number of tags. I split the links by month and often add a short description and a tag to a saved link. All IT tags are textual, but I use emojis for other link categories, such as music or books. Example content:

### 2022/12

- {musical note emoji} [Mendelssohn - Complete Piano Works](https://www.amazon.pl/Complete-Piano-Works-Prosseda/dp/B084D...)

- [Checked C](https://github.com/microsoft/checkedc) - extensions to make C safer #cpp

- [SQLite Internals: How The World's Most Used Database Works](https://www.compileralchemy.com/books/sqlite-internals/)

### 2022/11

- [The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide](https://sysprog21.github.io/lkmpg/), [repo](https://github.com/sysprog21/lkmpg) #linux

...

And so on. I know it's simplistic, but it helped me a lot to keep the number of links under a reasonable limit, and it is effortless to search through.
