It&#x27;s a long list, because I&#x27;m guilty of interleaving my reading of dozens (or more) of books at at time. My Goodreads &quot;currently reading&quot; shelf has about 25 books in it.  :-(<p>But of the ones I&#x27;m really actively reading <i>right now</i>, and plan to finish soon:<p>1. <i>Surfaces and Essences: Analogy As The Fuel And Fire Of Thinking</i> - Douglas Hofstader and Emmanuel Sander<p>2. <i>The Gathering Storm</i> - Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson<p>3. <i>The Balanced Scorecard</i> - David P. Norton and Robert S. Kaplan<p>Also, books that I don&#x27;t really think of in terms of &quot;reading&quot; so much as &quot;working through&quot;:<p>4. <i>Learning R</i> - Richard Cotton<p>5. <i>Practical Common Lisp</i> - Peter Seibel
