3. Terry Pratchett "Small Gods"

This was a reread of the first Pratchett book I ever read. I adore this book. The theme is spot on. The pacing is good. If for some reason you have never read Terry Pratchett, this is a good place to start.

4. Douglas Coupland "Microserfs"

Random reread of "Mircrosefs". This book is double edged for me. It is about techies and was written in the mid '90's so has a lot of built in nostalgia. But it's also about startups and I still am kind of PTSD about startups. So reading it is like a bittersweet symphony of life (sorry couldn't resist that one). Coupland writes about his characters '80's nerd nostalgia well. He evokes it without appearing totally poser (I'm looking at you Ready Player One). So a fun book for geeks of a certain age.
