YC's Winter Reading List
One genre that is always missing from HNer's and YC's recommendations is Fantasy.It feels like most people here read books to acquire knowledge and philosophy to apply to real life.Most fantasy books are read for entertainment and imagination. There's no hidden message to parse and put toward your next start-up project. That doesn't mean Fantasy books are a waste of time though if they're engrossing and entertaining. That's why I read them.Some fantasy recommendations:The Name of the Wind, by Patrick RothfussThe Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott LynchThe First Law series, by Joe Abercrombie (especially the standalone books #4, #5 and #6)The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson
